Yamato Resurrection: Director's Cut Preview Posted

Here is the 270-second preview video for the upcoming release of the Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection anime film's director's cut. The 2009 film's new version will have at least 30 minutes of additional footage.

The director's cut will have newly added sequences, a different ending from the original version, and a redone soundtrack, in accordance with the late director Yoshinobu Nishizaki's wishes, and includes never-before-seen scenes, re-cut scenes, and new dialogue recordings.



The director's cut will play in two theaters in Tokyo and Osaka from January 28 to February 3. Bandai Visual will then release this extended edition on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on March 23.

Space Battleship Yamato Resurrection is set in the year 2220, 17 years after the story of the last film, "Final Yamato". A black hole is approaching the Solar system, and will surely destroy all life on Earth. The decision has been made to evacuate Earth's entire population to Planet Amare, ruled by Queen Iriya, some 27,000 light years away in the Sairam star system.
