The official site for the highly anticipated upcoming live-action film adaptation of Monkey Punch's nationally popular manga series Lupin the Third today posted a new 90-second trailer featuring the newly-written main theme for the film by Tomoyasu Hotei, "TRICK ATTACK -Theme of Lupin The Third-."
52-year-old Hotei is known as the ex-guitarist of BOOWY, one of the most successful Japanese rock band in the 1980s. In 2000, he worked on the soundtrack for Junji Sakamoto-directed film Shin Jingi Naki Tatakai (New Battles Without Honor and Humanity). The main theme for the film was later reused by American director Quentin Tarantino for his 2003 film Kill Bill. Stephen Lipson, who previously worked for the soundrtrack for The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, serves as the mixing engineer with Hotei for the Lupin theme.
The 2014 film is directed by Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Azumi, Godzilla: Final Wars) and 31-year-old Shun
Oguri plays the title character Lupin the Third, the grandson of Arsène Lupin. It is scheduled to be released
in Japan on August 30.
