On July 21, 2020, Well Go USA will release the Blu-ray & DVD for Samurai Marathon, a period action film directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman, Immortal Beloved) and produced by Oscar winners Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor) and Toshiaki Nakazawa (13 Assassins).

The film stars Takeru Satoh (Rurouni Kenshin), Nana Komatsu (The World of Kanako), Mirai Moriyama (Rage), Shota Sometani (Legend of the Demon Cat), Munetaka Aoki (Rurouni Kenshin), Ryu Kohata (God of War), Yuta Koseki (Missions of Love) and Danny Huston (The Aviator).

Samurai Marathon follows a young ninja (Satoh) who is operating undercover in the court of an aging Lord during a peaceful era of Japan that is on the brink of change. After the Lord challenges his lazy samurais to a punishing marathon to toughen them up, the ninja finds his loyalties put to the test. Into the mix comes the Lordʼs rebellious daughter, Princess Yuki (Komatsu), a heroine who escapes the castle to take part in the dangerous marathon in disguise. Facing impossible odds, this unusual band of characters are running to win or die. The film is inspired by a real-life race that is still held annually in Japan (via THR).
