Prolific Japanese director Takashi Miike has another piece of insanity to share with us, this one a real mind-blower (literally). Called AS THE GODS WILL, it’s based on a manga about a group of high schoolers who find themselves playing a deadly game where the losers really lose their heads. Yes, sounds a tad like BATTLE ROYALE, but once you get a look at the new preview below, you’ll see Miike and company are exploring a different variety of student-slaying.

Here’s the roughly-tranlated synopsis:
