In 1905, the director of films such as "Ghost Card Game" and "Day and Day Rock" and other films, Yu Irie, and his new film "Sun" gathered young powerful actors such as Ryunosuke Kamiki and Motowaki Mai to depict a science fiction story of the near future. This live-action movie adaptation of the popular stage drama exposes posters and massive stills.
The film tells that at the beginning of the 21st century, the world's population was extremely reduced by the virus, and the people who survived were divided into 2 categories. One is the "New Human Knox", which can only evolve at night, and the other is the "Old Human Kurio", who lives poorly under the sun. Day and night divide the world, and loved ones such as family, relatives, friends, and lovers are separated, and they will have to make decisions for the future.
"The Sun" was released as a stage play in 2011 and won the Yomiuri Drama Award. The film version is based on the script of the stage play of the same name by playwright Chidai Maekawa, and was jointly created by director Yu Irie and Maekawa. In addition to Ryunosuke Kamiki and Muromai, Yuki Furukawa, Kensei Mizuta, Jun Murakami, Yuko Nakamura, Kazuya Takahashi, Yaoko Moriguchi, Toshiki Ayata, Tatsugo Tsurumi and others have gathered to perform together, and the film has received great attention since filming began.
In the poster exposed this time, with the desolate nature as the background, the title is actually listed impressively, giving people a huge impact on the difficult survival of human beings in a harsh environment. At the same time, the stills exposed can be seen that the two lead actors are quite sloppy, according to the plot, they should belong to the "old humans", while Furukawa's style is quite modern.
It is reported that most of the scenes in the film are filmed in the mountains in winter, and director Irie Yu is very picky about the choice of filming location, "I chose a place with a dam that can seal off the village." For the scenes that were impressive when shooting, the director recalled: "Because it was filmed in winter, and there were many scenes at night, it would be filmed until morning, and the shooting place was very cold." After the shooting, I went down from the mountain and had a feeling of relief. ”
Lead actor Ryunosuke Kamiki said: "It is a work with a lot of insights. There are many things that people who watch it have in mind and hope to get different responses. And Motowaki Mai said: "It is by no means a very light story, and I think it will definitely leave something profound for those who have seen it." ”
It is reported that "Sun" will be released nationwide in Japan on April 23.
