Toshiaki Karasawa to Lead Toho's $57 million sci-fi trilogy "20th Century Boy"

Never heard of this, but the premise is interesting: The trilogy is based on a hit comic by Naoki Urasawa that ran in Big Comic Spirits magazine from 1999 to 2006.

[Error: unknown template video]
Here's the trailer for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Julian Schnabel is nominated for directing it. This is an example of one of the foreign films that is kept out of Oscar contention by stupid Academy rules, but which impresses people enough that they nominate it for something else.
