A new Mamoru Hosoda film is heading to cinemas later this year, and its first trailer promises an action-packed fantasy epic with unique visuals and a fascinating heroine. Studio Chizu has confirmed that Scarlet is releasing worldwide on December 12, only a few weeks after its Japanese release on November 21.
The announcement revealed some details about the upcoming anime movie, which follows a princess seeking revenge for the death of her father. In a story that "transcends time and space", Princess Scarlet will navigate "a world full of madness" in an adventure "beyond imagination" that will put her face to face with her nemesis. "Will Scarlett be able to find a way to live at the end of her endless journey?," reads an early synopsis (via Toho Movie Channel).
