His body would not be found by Los Angeles police for over a month. In December 1993 however, Aziz Ghazal (the first time director from USC film school who was attached to the picture) killed his wife and daughter before committing suicide. Disney's Touchstone Pictures eventually picked up the film, and work on it was set to happen at the start of 1994. The initial script, written by Paul McCudden and based on a book by Gregory Mcdonald, attracted interest from Hollywood studios in 1993, despite the dark nature of the story. Clarence Williams III as Father Stratton.Marlon Brando as McCarthy, the snuff film's director/producer.Tech specs are fine, even with some rocky F/X (though strong in light of the small budget), and the central performances don’t get in the way of the action - the exception being a hilariously focused Yuki Matsuzaki as an alien hit-man robot. It all ends with an awesome (and freakishly empty) Ginza throwdown before setting up the next part, an increasingly common trend for films of the type ( Gantz, Parasyte).īrave Storm’s plot hinges on the expected sci-fi devices - invasion, environmental ruin, temporal paradoxes - but Okabe has tossed a bit of welcome cynicism into the mix by having the Kyrgyz scout explain that his race chose Earth for resettlement because it was so rife with infighting and violence it would have destroyed itself eventually anyway.
The second mission has them tracking down the good doctor’s brother, bare-knuckle boxer Ken ( Shu Watanabe, Attack on Titan) because he is the key to driving the Red Baron … for some reason. In one mission, they locate cutting-edge roboticist Kenichiro Kurenai ( Hisashi Yoshizawa, I Am a Hero) and convince him to build Red Baron, the giant mecha that will destroy the aliens’ Black Baron, which is scheduled to release the atmosphere-blighting tech in a few years. Almost the last of us, the Kasuga brothers build a time machine and send a team back in time to stop the invasion before it happens, including psychically gifted Haruka ( Chihiro Yamamoto) and Koji ( Shunsuke Daito, Tokyo Tribe) and his supersuit. Brave Storm’s cold open unfolds in Tokyo 2050, a time when humanity is all but extinct and the intergalactic invading Kyrgyz have re-terraformed the planet to have an atmosphere that’s a deadly toxic stew.
