We've already informed you that the Gantz live-action adaptation will be playing in American theaters one entire release week before Japan's. We've also notified you that this version will indeed be dubbed over in English. Now, whether this totally sways your choice to seek out the film all depends on how badly you want to see excessive violence, tight leather suits, highly advanced weaponry and, of course, explosions aplenty. Or maybe your loyalty to the original manga alone will drive you to lay down $10+ for a viewing experience that may or may not live up to your expectations. Hesitations aside, the Fathom Events and New People branches of Viz Pictures have released an informative document containing a multitude of venues spread across 46 states that will be playing the film starting January 20th, 2011.

The Palin family, I'm sure, is not pleased with this news as there will be an interview with the film's stars Ninomiya Kazumari and Matsuyama Kenichi following the initial screenings.

There isn't a dub track trailer yet, but you can catch the newest Japanese one down below if you haven't viewed it already. Remember: Gantz is being released in two halves. Gantz Part II will arrive in Spring 2011.

What could that exactly mean for you, you ask? Well, let me let Eri Maruyama (International Business Development) at DAISUKI answer that as well as many more burning questions that I had about the new service. When I watched Blood C in Summer of 2011, I thought it was a show that had a lot of promise.
