Shinji Higuchi, renowned for his dynamic storytelling and spectacular visuals as seen in “Shin Godzilla,” is gearing up to release his latest thriller, “Bullet Train Explosion,” on April 23. This modern-day reboot of the classic film stars Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, marking another collaboration with Higuchi since their last project, “Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan.”

Set aboard the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa No. 60 en route to Tokyo, the film thrusts viewers into a high-stakes scenario where a bomb will detonate if the train’s speed falls below 100 km/h.

The teaser trailer offers a glimpse of the action, showcasing impressive VFX where the train shudders violently, hinting at an explosive crisis. As the conductor, played by Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, announces the danger, a desperate race against time begins, involving the crew, passengers, and the Shinkansen General Operation Control Center.

The film features a diverse cast alongside Kusanagi, including Kanata Hosoda as conductor Fujii and Non as the driver Matsumoto.
