Founded in 1965 and located in Adachi, Tokyo, Tokyo Marui is renowned for designing the first electric and battery-powered airsoft guns. They will be supplying the hyper-realistic weaponry props to be featured extensively throughout the film.

KAIJU: ISLAND OF FIRE is the first film in a planned franchise. The story begins when a geological anomaly is discovered by a team of scientists on an ancient Japanese Island. After the members of a construction team, who were in the process of building a new military base there, go missing, a combined military and science task force is sent to investigate. Once on the island, the task force encounters a foreboding, fiery landscape now home to a strange and terrifying creature, capable of destroying them...and all who venture near!

KAIJU: ISLAND OF FIRE is written and directed by Andrew L. Phillips, an experienced stuntman with credits on CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES and THE EXPENDABLES series.

The creative team includes Creature Designer Kakeru Haraguchi, Special Effects Consultant Hiroshi Katagiri (CAPTAIN MARVEL, ANTLERS, THE MANDALORIAN) and Visual Effects Supervisor Duncan Buckley (THE FABLE, ONZOSHI BOYS). The main cast features Wes Wing, Thelma Rún Heimisdóttir, Toshihiro Wakita, Emma Stuart-Box, Yutaka Nozawa, Michael Cristoph and Michael Wayne Herrington Jr.

Following in the footsteps of 3Y Film productions such as NEZURA 1964 (ネズラ1964, 2020) and HOSHI 35 (星35), KAIJU: ISLAND OF FIRE will also feature a number of well-known legacy actors from kaiju cinema.
