New flesh fans rejoice! Screen Daily carried a story yesterday about the imminent release of a third Tetsuo film. Although not completed in time for this year's Canne Film Festival, director Shinya Tsukamoto is still journeying to the French resort to shop around for distribution deals. Show reel! For the uninitiated: 1989's Tetsuo: The Iron Man featured a salary man's metal fetish infection, and his subsequent transformation into a junk-pile march messiah. Tetsuo II: Body Hammer transposed a nominal action thriller narrative onto proceedings, a meek father finds he can metamorph into a walking weapon when his child is kidnapped by skin-head ability shades. Cataclysm ensues. Fingers crossed for a speedy international rights pick-up on Part III! Get Tarantino and the Weinsteins on the case.
