The official Japanese Pokémon Youtube account has released a trailer of the upcoming CG remake of Mewtwo Strikes Back. The video gives a glimpse of the new style that the remake has. Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution will be released in Japan come July 12th.
The film was announced on New Year’s Day with a short teaser on Youtube. A tweet from the official Pokémon account indicates that international details about the film will be released soon. Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution will be released in Japan on July 12th. According to IMDB, the film will be released on November 17 in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
There are a few funny comments on the trailer like “didn’t know they were still making PS2 games.” I agree that the CG looks dated and odd at first glance, but I’m willing to withhold judgement until it comes out.
This brings back memories, I was the first person out of all my friends to get this movie on VHS (i never got to see it in theatres). I begged my mom to get it for me at Canadian tire.
It was the second screening of the (release) day. Had a fat guy sitting next to me, decked out in full Pokemon gear, a Charmander in one and a dozen of Promo Cards in the other hand. He told me that he had already seen the Movie an hour earlier and would watch it two more times that day.
He also claimed, that he had seen the Movie weeks earlier in Japan (more than once of course), he showed me some japanese cards (or atleast I presumed they were japanese) to prove, that he was in Japan.
I’m not sure what I remember more, the guy or the movie
