Exclusive trailer: “WAR OF THE NINJA MONSTERS; JARON VS. GOURA” rampages onto Blu-ray soon

This new Japanese monster mash is inspired by classic kaiju.

SRS Cinema has begun pre-orders on the Blu-ray of WAR OF THE NINJA MONSTERS: JARON VS. GOURA, from director Shinpei Hayashiya (REIGO: KING OF THE SEA MONSTERS, RAIGA: GOD OF THE MONSTERS). Written by Hayashiya and Hirokatsu Kihara, the movie stars Makoto Inamiya, Kingentei Anju, Yumiko Tanaka, Keiki Hayashiya, Zui Nishikawa and suit actors Mizuho Yoshida (GODZILLA: GMK) and Akihiko Ohashi (GAMERA 2: ATTACK OF LEGION and GAMERA 3: REVENGE OF IRIS). The creatures were designed by Shinji Nishikawa (GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE, GODZILLA 2000). The synopsis: “Two men, tired from work, visit the town of Chichibu to enjoy their favorite hobby–exploring caves. But little do they know, the town has been secretly protected by the descendants of the righteous Shinobi ninja since the Sengoku period. The two unlucky friends accidentally break a spell that awakens two colossal beasts, Jaron and Goura. The area’s rival clans manipulate them into a fierce battle, bringing chaos to the area. But a righteous female ninja steps up, wanting to stop the destruction and restore the seal. Can she defeat the evil ninjas that stand in her way before Chichibu is completely destroyed by two kaiju?”

Bonus features on the Blu-ray are:

  • Behind the scenes
  • Trailer
  • WAR OF THE NINJA MONSTERS introduction by Eugene Alejandro
  • Kaiju trailers
  • SRS trailers
  • More extras are being developed with Elijah Thomas, which will likely include a commentary track

The expected shipping date for the discs is late July; for more info, click here.
