Netflix has launched a brand new trailer for The Summit of the Gods, one of many yr’s most high-profile European animated options.
Half detective story, half motion film, half existential drama, the movie focuses on a legendary Japanese climber and a photograph journalist who grows obsessed along with his exploits. A story machine hyperlinks their adventures to these of George Mallory, the real-life British mountaineer who died on Everest in 1924. Watch the trailer beneath:
The movie is directed by Patrick Imbert (The Huge Unhealthy Fox and Different Tales) and primarily based on the manga sequence of the identical identify by author Baku Yumemakura and illustrator Jiro Taniguchi. Adapting the manga was in itself a job of Himalayan proportions: it runs to greater than 1,500 pages of knotty intrigue and intense psychological drama. Imbert wrote the screenplay with Jean-Charles Ostoréro and Magali Pouzol.
