The First Slam Dunk Shares Poster for New Movie

Slam Dunk will be hitting theaters overseas very soon with its debut feature film effort, and fans have gotten a new look at The First Slam Dunk with a cool new poster hyping up its future updates! There have been a number of classic manga and anime franchises from the 90s and 2000s that have come back with new projects in recent years, and now a new one taking on a major sports juggernaut is coming next. Takehiko Inoue's classic Basketball franchise is returning for a new movie project after all these years, and will actually be hitting theaters across Japan beginning this December.

Titled The First Slam Dunk, this new movie in the franchise will be hitting theaters across Japan beginning on December 3rd. It's been quite a while since fans have gotten to see even a teaser trailer showing off the new film in motion, but it seems like as the theatrical release quickly approaches the promotional train is now up and running in full. That continues with a new poster showing off the main cast line up and how they'll be brought to life in the new revival feature film. You can check it out below: 

The First Slam Dunk will be releasing in Japan on December 3rd, but has yet to reveal any international plans as of this writing. Toei Animation's official YouTube channel will be sharing new information about the film on November 3rd, and since there's been very little actually shown from the movie, there's a good chance we'll get to see a new trailer for it. As for what we know about the project right now, however, key member of the staff have been previously confirmed. 

Original series creator Takehiko Inoue will be writing and directing the film himself for Toei Animation and DandeLion Animation Studio. He'll be joined on the staff by the likes of Yasuyuki Ebara as character designer and animation director, Daiki Nakazawa as CG director, Yuta Ogura as CG producer, Kazuo Ogura as art director, Yota Tsuruoka and Koji Kasamatsu as sound directors, and Katsuhiko Kitada, Naoki Miyahara, Toshio Ohashi, and Yu Kamatani technical directors.
