Hashima (2002)
On April 20, 1974, Japan blockaded Gunkanjima Island and evacuated all the inhabitants of the island, making the island an uninhabited island until 2009, when the Japanese government decided to open it and make it a tourist attraction, and in 2014, the British "Guardian" selected Gunkanjima island as the "World's Top Ten Ghost Cities", which came to 15 years and was selected by the United Nations as a World Cultural Heritage. As early as 2002, Swedish director Thomas Nordanstad had noticed the uninhabited island, so he went to the island to shoot a documentary about the past history of the island, and the director put the clip on YouTube for everyone to watch.
2003 Battle Royale 2
The island is full of ghosts and horrors, and the most thriller is filmed. In 2003, "Battle Royale 2" featured Gunkanjima as the protagonist. Inheriting the story of the first episode, the surviving Akiya Nanahara (Ryuya Fujiwara) has set up an anti-state organization on Warship Island, so the government decides to launch a battle royale again, leaving a group of students on Gunkanjima island and asking them to kill Akiya Nanahara as a target. Playing battle royale on Gunkanjima Island, which is full of weirdness and lifelessness, is really very suitable, but "Battle Royale 2" is not filmed on the island, but specially went to Afghanistan to shoot the scene, warmly mentioned, "Gunkanjima" is the crew shooting, and Japan will approve you to shoot in your own place to tell the cruel story of the Japanese army.
"Battle Royale 2" has no substance to go to the island to shoot, but the story refers to the anti-government organization led by Fujiwara Ryu also set up the island as a base, so the government ordered the students to go to Gunkanjima Island to play battle royale, with the goal of killing Fujiwara.

2010 "Stealth Murder Room"
Leo fans may ask, I have seen Inception many times, there is a Warship Island gel in the side? It is true that the film did not go to the island to shoot, but in the end Leo and his wife went to the fourth layer of dreams, that is, the scene of the subconscious region Limbo, and the director Lu lan was based on The Island of Warships. The decadent and ruined Warship Island, very match the protagonist's sense of helplessness in the realm of chaos, and the final scene of Limbo collapsing are very similar to the dangerous buildings of Gunkanjima.
The subconscious layer in "Stealth Murder", the scene of Limbo, is based on Gunkanjima Island, and everyone thinks it seems to be similar? (Stills from "Stealth Murder")
Lianadu came to the fourth layer of the dream, the scene was desolate and there was a sense of despair, which coincided with Gunkanjima. (Stills from "Stealth Murder")
2012 "New Iron King Kong: Wisdom Breaks the Sky"
Thanks to the Swedish director Thomas, who made a documentary on Gunkanjima in 2002, he inspired Sam Mendes, the director of this episode of "007", to decide to use the main villain base "Dead City" in the play as a model for End Island. The crew used a large number of notes written by Thomas, and then in July 11, they personally went to Hashima to investigate, but unfortunately they did not shoot on Hashima due to safety factors, and finally filmed outside London. However, the funniest thing is that the play refers to the dead city located in the sea of Macau, not the original Nagasaki, Japan, when the author looked at it, Zhongxin Qiao Macau has a unique uninhabited island?
"007: The City of Wisdom" is based on the scene of Gunkanjima Island. (YouTube: Skyfall - Screenshot of Silva's Island)
"Wise City" and "Stealth Murder" did not go to Gunkanjima Island for field shooting, but the scenes in the interior were inspired by the island, and the crew of "Wisdom" set Up Warship Island as the base of the main villain, and restored the island shooting in the United Kingdom.

Ghost Town (2013)
Since it has been selected as one of the top ten ghost cities in the world, Gunkanjima itself is already a pretty good movie theme. In 2013, Thailand and Japan cooperated in this "Ghost Town" about The Island of Tamshima, which advertised the film's field shooting, showing that Juma Zhenyu went to visit ghosts. The story tells that a Japanese production company suddenly invited a team of Thai photography teams that filmed a short film to go to Gunkanjima Island to shoot a film, so several Thai youth went to the island to explore the secrets, but they provoked the disaster of killing for no reason, they returned to China and were constantly entangled in evil spirits, and the final ending was not good. They are all up and down with other ghost films. This Tai Tai Ri co-production film evaluation ma ma, the best reaction male audience to see the female ghost surprise appearance, point to solve? Because this female ghost is played by the famous AV actress Xiang Nishino.
"Ghost Town" advertises the film's live-action shooting, and Makoto goes to Gunkanjima To explore ghosts. (Stills from Ghost Town)
2015 Attack on Titan
If you want to count the most profound Warship Island filming movies in recent years, it should be "Attack on Titan". Director Shinji Higuchi pointed out that he chose Gunkanjima to shoot, not just because of its ruined environment, but because of the island's past history, and the pit island, which was once the world's highest population density, suddenly became a ghost town. This fits perfectly with the worldview of Attack on Titan, and the sadness is a little beautiful. Filming was originally forbidden on the island, but because the director loved this scene too much, he finally moved to the approval of the authorities and filmed for 3 months. Although the final film was thunder and rain, after filming this blockbuster, the fame of Managaha Island has increased, and more and more tourists have visited the island in recent years.
Another set of films filmed on Gunkanjima island is "Attack on Titan" painted two years ago, and when I looked at the movie, I really thought that the selection of scenery was good. (Stills from Attack on Titan)
No need to set up the scene, but also to express the sense of ruins, the most costly way to go to Gunkanjima to shoot. (Stills from Attack on Titan)
