Good news! [i]Shin Kamen Rider[/i], [i]Evangelion[/i] creator Hideaki Anno’s radical re-imagining of the legendary Japanese superhero series, is finally making its way to American shores. Bad news: you better be available for [i]one day[/i], because that’s all it’s getting.

Fathom Events has announced that it will theatrically distribute [i]Shin Kamen Rider[/i], which debuted in Japan last month, as a limited screening event across the U.S. on May 31.

The movie follows Takeshi Hongo, played by [i]The Last Samurai[/i]’s Sosuke Ikematsu, a young man who awakens to find himself transformed into a cyborg agent of the mysterious organization SHOCKER. Rebelling against his new masters and pledging to destroy them, Hongo becomes Kamen Rider, a superhero capable of taking on SHOCKER’s machinations (mostly by riding cool motorbikes and kicking the crap out of them). It’s Anno’s first solo movie in the “Shin” re-imagining franchise he kicked off with director Shinji Higuchi with [i]Shin Godzilla[/i] in 2016, followed by [i]Shin Ultraman[/i] last year.

Tickets for the screenings will go on sale May 5.
