▲Participation in CUBE: Masanori Sugata, An, Masao Koda, Akira Tashiro, Kou Kado, Kotaro Yoshida
According to Japanese media reports, the world's popular suspense horror movie "CUBE Panic Party" is about to be remade in Japan, starring actor Shoko Sugata (27 years old). The play tells the story of 6 men and women trapped in a mysterious cube and trying to escape. The cast is very luxurious, with the staff played by Apricot (34 years old), the freelancer played by Okada Shosei (31 years old), the middle school student played by Tashiro (13 years old), the maintenance worker played by Saito Ko (39 years old), and the company staff played by Kotaro Yoshida (62 years old).
The six people, who had never known each other, groped little by little on the unknown and desperate road in the cube full of traps. In the environment of physical and mental exhaustion and extreme tension and fear, the personality of the characters in the play is gradually clear, allowing people to slowly unfold the story while pinching a handful of sweat.
The engineer played by Sugada is the main line of the story, and the producer revealed the reason for using Sugata: "This character must truly show the 'present', and the first person we think of is Sugata."

The original film was a Canadian film released in 1997 by Vincenzo Natali (52). This film can be said to be extremely popular, and there are even a lot of "Li ghosts" who rub heat. The remake was only authorized by Mr. Natali for the first time. The film was directed by Yasuhiko Shimizu (39), who became a hit with "MANRIKI" released in 2019. It is expected to be released on October 22.
Filming began in Tokyo from October to November last year. A cube-shaped set was assembled on set, and Sugata said, "Although shooting has already begun, it still feels confused." And in this dramatic space, there will be a wonderful sense of sympathy with everyone who shoots together. Moreover, the Japanese version of CUBE faithfully adheres to the original worldview, and Sugata confidently said, "It is actually difficult to reduce a movie like this to a specific category." But as long as it can bring you a certain amount of fun, it can't be better."
▽ The CUBE series premiered in Canada in 1997 and is arguably a pioneer of chamber suspense. There are many works with similar themes, but the official series only has three parts: CUBE2 (02) and CUBE ZERO (2004). While the plot mostly escapes from cubes full of death traps, CUBE ZERO's stage expands to the outside of the cube, a finale that reveals the true face of the cube and the common points of the chosen person.
