Higurashi movie stuff again
Dengeki and Famitsu have both written up a report on the filming of the watanagashi part of the upcoming Higurashi movie, including interviews with Ryuukishi07, the director, and the cast. They’re hoping to complete filming so the movie can go on the big screen near the golden week holidays in 2008.
Ryuukishi07 also revealed during the interview that the movie will indeed only cover the onikakushi chapter and will not try to put everything into one movie. When asked if they will be making more movies, Ryuukishi07 says that viewers who wish to know what happens next can check the comics or the anime, and does not confirm any plans for more movies.
Ryuukishi07 has been going over the script with the director and following the filming crew around so it seems that the movie wouldn’t go too wrong… I think.
