Already out in Japan, FrightFest in the UK will be screening “Crow’s Blood“, a brand new six-episode horror/suspense TV show that brings together some of the biggest names from both the U.S. and Japan. The series is being executive produced by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II-IV, 11-11-11,Repo!) from a screenplay by Yasushi Akimoto and Clint Sears.
Producers Bousman and Sean E. DeMott worked with super group music celebrities AKB 48‘s Mayu Watanabe and Sakura Miyawaki. The series was directed by Ryo Nishimura with the opening two episodes and the finale being co-directed by Ryo and Joe White.
The series begins 20 years after the first cloned sheep was born. While regeneration offers a broad range of possibilities, human beings are now trying to play God, to “re-create life.” The show asks, when we lose someone we love, are we allowed to regenerate their life or even bodies?
With the film announced to screen at FrightFest, Sears sent Bloody some exclusive images from the set and shared some thoughts on the production.
“It’s always surreal to see a script come to life, it was doubly so to see it happen in a different language on the other side of the world,” he explains of shooting in Japan. “I have never worked with a more dedicated and efficient production. I still miss Japan and its people nearly every day.”
Here are some gorgeous shots from Japan. You can find some official images and the series trailer by clicking here.
