Stranger than Heaven (Live Action Movie Adaptation)

An epic gangster saga of men battling through five eras and five citie in Japan. Stranger Than Heaven, from RGG Studio, unfolds as a sweeping action-crime drama with historical scope and a cinematic neo-noir edge, following interconnected lives across different times and places in a story shaped by violence, ambition, and fate. Blending gritty underworld tension, character-driven drama, and stylish, hard-hitting intensity, the story appears to carry the larger-than-life emotional scale and atmospheric storytelling RGG Studio is known for, while framing its world as a multi-era, multi-city saga.

The Broker (Live Action Dark Martial Arts Film)

Wei Duanhun is a cold, hollow Chinese gangster-martial artist from future China, the sole survivor of a forbidden fighting lineage and a man who killed his own dojo out of boredom. As a disciple, he mastered every lesson too quickly, then sank into a deeper emptiness that neither discipline nor victory could cure. That void pushed him toward forbidden dark arts, savage internal techniques, neural mutilation, and biotech-enhanced killing methods his master tried to seal away. When the old man finally moved to stop him, Wei butchered his master, his fellow disciples, and everyone in the dojo with chilling calm, not out of rage, but because they had become useless to him. He grew into an underworld broker of death tournaments, moving through the world with eerie stillness, saying little, feeling almost nothing, and treating violence like both business and experiment. He does not chase power, money, or reputation. He engineers brutality for one reason only: to find a fight so extreme it finally forces his dead soul to feel something.
