Must See Trailer for Japan's 'Rex: A Dinosaur's Story' US Re-Release

Meet Rex! ? Kani Releasing has unveiled a new official US trailer for the remastered & restored re-release of a long lost Japanese monster movie cult classic called Rex: A Dinosaur's Story - REX 恐竜物語. This dino movie originally opened in Japan at the exact same time as Jurassic Park in the summer of 1993, but didn't make a splash. It stars Yumi Adachi as Chie, a young girl who befriends a young Tyrannosaurus rex after it hatches from an egg co-discovered by her paleontologist father (Tsunehiko Watase). Releasing at Christmas time - "like nothing you'll see this holiday season." Rex, one of Haruki Kadokawa's directorial efforts, has a disruption when Kadokawa was arrested for cocaine smuggling in 1993, leading him to resign from the company. Featuring expressive creature effects by Carlo Rambaldi (Alien, E.T., Possession); chase scenes by carriage, snowmobile and hot air balloon; in-camera height jokes and tokusatsu-indebted "suit-mation", as well as startling Christmas imagery, Rex is as "adorable as it is unhinged, functioning as both wholesome Holiday crowd-pleaser and cult curio..." Finally remastered in high definition for the very first time! This honestly looks like a must watch dinosaur fave that is being given the very rare chance to be enjoyed on the big screen, playing at many theaters nationwide starting around mid-December. So who's in? // Continue Reading ›
