CUBE enthusiasts are going to want to solve this puzzle on SCREAMBOX this spring." "This new Japanese experience honors the original and delivers the goods horror fans expect to see. " Vincenzo Natali's CUBE is a modern cult classic that broke new ground with its unique production design and groundbreaking storytelling," said Brad Miska, Managing Director of Bloody Disgusting/Cinedigm. The film was Produced by Satoko Ishida and Akiko Funatsu with Shigeaki Yoshida also attached as Executive Producer. The Japanese remake, which has grossed almost $2.5 million in the international box office, stars award-winning actor Masaki Suda ("Ah, Koya"), Anne Watanabe ("Murder on the Orient Express"), Masaki Okada ( Drive My Car), Takumi Saitoh ( Life in a Box) and Kôtarô Yoshida ( Doctor X).
Natali ( Splice, In the Tall Grass, NBC's "Hannibal") stayed on as an executive producer of the Japanese remake with Kôji Tokuo writing the adapted screenplay. The 1997 brutal, sci-fi horror classic by Vincenzo Natali was so successful that it spawned Cube²: Hypercube (2002) and Cube Zero (2004). As fear and distrust swirl around them, the group must work together to survive. Looking for ways to escape, they discover the room is riddled with lethal traps. After waking up drugged and disoriented, the prisoners, who seemingly have nothing in common, find themselves in mysterious room inscribed with an unfamiliar code. Directed by Yasuhiko Shimizu ("Pension: Love Is Pink"), CUBE, which released theatrically last year in Japan, follows a group of strangers who find themselves trapped in a sadistic maze without remembering how they got there.
