The film will open in Spring 2016.

The first live-action film adaptation opened in Japan on March 21. The Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal hosted the film's international premiere on July 17.

A humorous and action-packed story about a class of misfits who are trying t o kill their new teacher – an alien octopus with bizarre powers and super strength! The teacher has just destroyed the moon and is threatening t o destroy the earth – unless his students can destroy him first. What makes things more complicated is that he's the best teacher they've ever had!
