Have you guys ever heard of the Japanese manga TOMIE? Well apparently it’s a big deal over there and I’m here today to tell you all about a film project in the works based on Junji Ito’s popular comic.
The project in question is called TOMIE UNLIMITED and will be coming our way from MACHINE GIRL/ROBOGEISHA director Noboru Iguchi. Do I have your attention yet? No? Well scope out the synopsis:
Tsukiko, who belongs to a photography club at high school, always feel inferior to her elder sister, Tomie. Tomie is breathtakingly beautiful and popular among the male students, including Toshio, whom Tsukiko is secretly in love with. However, one day an awful accident kills Tomie right in front of Tsukiko. Since then Tsukiko suffers from a nightmare night after night. A year later Tsukiko and her parents are silently surrounding a birthday cake to celebrate dead Tomie’s 18th birthday. Suddenly they hear eerie knocks on their door. Unbelievably, it is Tomie. She’s back. The father and the mother blindly welcome Tomie in tears, but Tsukiko feels instinctive fear. Tomie gradually reveals her true face only when she is with Tsukiko. Now Tsukiko’s nightmare becomes reality, and the terrifying days begin…
How about now? Yeah that’s what I thought. Miu Nakamura (below) is set to star as the titular ‘Tomie’ while Moe Arai stars as ‘Tsukiko.’
Now that’s all we’ve got for TOMIE UNLIMITED right now but I’m sure there will be more on this project heading our way soon. As always as soon as we get any more updates regarding TOMIE UNLIMITED we’ll be sure to pass the good word along to all of you!
