A shy fanboy buy a weird foreign statuette that starts pull in all his wishes come rightful , including a supermodel day of the month , in The iDol . But everything comes at a price , and the doll ’s original owner is coming from outer space to look for it . The iDol look like another zany Japanese clowning like Squid Wrestler , but it has a surprising source .
Co - writer / director Ken England is an American who ’s lived in Japan for twelvemonth . He enlisted the attention of Japanese TV and picture veterans , and the result has an previous - school sci - fi look . I like thenon - CGI blank monsterthe Oavian . The iDol is a satire of otaku ( fan ) culture , but looks as though it could have a creepy undersurface , what with the bird ’s eye - blasts and the hooded frame . It also attend similar to CJ7 , the young Stephen Chow movie about an ordinary individual who finds an alien objective with sorcerous powers . The iDol made its North American debut at Vancouver Comicon in October , but no word on when it ’ll show in the U.S. [ SciFiJapan ]
