GKIDS has acquired North American distribution rights to MFKZ, the France/Japanese co-production that was released internationally last year as Mutafukaz.

Produced by France’s Ankama (Wakfu, Dofus) and Japan’s Studio 4°C (Batman: Gotham Knight, Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game), MFKZ is a hyperviolent genre-mashup based on the work of French comic artist Guillaume “Run” Renard, and directed by Renard and Shoujirou Nishimi.

GKIDS will release the film theatrically on October 11, 2018, including a new English-language version.
