On May 31st the epic sci-fi movie trilogy 20TH CENTURY BOYS will be released on DVD in the United Kingdom as a 4 disc box set 4Digital Media. The COMPLETE SAGA DVD set includes a special Edition 24 Page Book with an extra disc packed full of 4 hours bonus extras making the Japanese thriller trilogy a "must have" for manga and Japanese cinema fans. To celebrate the upcoming release, 4Digital Media and Organic Marketing have offered free copies of the 20TH CENTURY BOYS: THE COMPLETE SAGA for 3 lucky SciFi Japan winners. Based on the hugely successful, award winning manga series created by Naoki Urasawa (Yawara; Monster), and directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi (SUSHI KING GOES TO NEW YORK; HAPPILY EVER AFTER; KEIZOKU: THE MOVIE), 20TH CENTURY BOYS` epic storyline spans 50 years and several continents, factors that necessitated a budget of 6 billion yen for the trilogy – an unprecedented figure for the Japan film industry. 20TH CENTURY BOYS begins in 1969 when a young boy named Kenji and his friends write The Book of Prophecy. In the book, they write about a future where they fight against an evil organization trying to take over the world and bringing about Doomsday. Years later in 1997, a mysterious cult being lead by a man only known as “Friend” has emerged and gained a strong influence over society. A series of catastrophic events begin to occur, mirroring the prophecies made up by the young Kenji. The greatest fear is that the climax of The Book of Prophecy will become a reality: on December 31st, 2000, a terrifying giant virus-spreading robot will attack the entire city of Tokyo, leading to the end of mankind. The only people who know about The Book are Kenji and his childhood friends. Who is Friend? Will Kenji and his friends be able to save mankind and live to see the 21st Century? 20TH CENTURY BOYS: THE COMPLETE SAGA is now available for preorder from Amazon UK.
