Live-action Contra movie and TV series releasing worldwide
Earlier in the year, news leaked about a live-action Contra movie. Konami made it official today, confirming a partnership with China’s Starlight Media for the film as well as a TV drama. We can also now say that both will be released and streamed worldwide.
China Film Insider provided the following synopsis of the movie a few months ago:
In 1988, a huge meteorite lands on an uninhabited island in the South China Sea.
Chen Qiang and Li Zhiyong investigate but come up empty handed. 29 years later, Chen sends commandos Bill and Lance into a combat mission there to neutralize the villainous Red Falcon Organization, but end up facing a different enemy altogether.
We also have this teaser:
Both of these projects are likely quite far off. Release dates for the movie and TV drama have not yet been nanounced.
