Description:
One of the most critically-acclaimed, uniquely terrifying anime series ever is now a live-action feature, in a UK-Exclusive-packaged extras-loaded release!
Acclaimed writer Sadayuki Murai, of Boogiepop Phantom, Millenium Actress and Steamboy fame, and director Ryu Kaneda (Video Girl Ai, Shenmue) create a quietly chilling addition to the J-Horror film cycle. A superb cast are brought together to bring Kohei Kadano's original award-winning novel Boogiepop Doesn't Smile to life, including Ayama Sakai (Takashi Miike's Tennen Shojo Mann NEXT, Battle Royale II, Devilman), Asumi Miwa (Uzumaki, Ju-on: The Grudge, Ping Pong), Tetsu Sawaki (Takashi Miike's Audition) and Hassei Takano (Takashi Miike's Tennen Shojo Mann NEXT, Uzumaki, Kairo aka Pulse). Producers Hakuhodo (Akira, Gad Guard), Media Works (Kino's Journey, Azumanga Daioh) and Toei Video Co., Ltd (New Cutey Honey, Re: Cutey Honey) successfully prefigure the current rend in Japan for live-action adaptations of anime and manga.
A DVD-only release containing the full-length uncut feature presented in letterbox format, in Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles. Extras include: History Of Boogiepop, Director's Commentary, cast & staff bios, storyboards, "The Making of Boogiepop" featurette, "Boogiepop In Yubari" Premiere featurette, original theatrical trailers and TV spots; and ADV previews.
