Earlier this month, a teaser trailer was released for Yoshihiro Fukagawa’s upcoming film adaptation of Into the White Night (Byakuyako), a crime story by Keigo Higashino which was originally serialized in the Shueisha literary magazine Shousetsu Subaru for two years from 1997.
The story was adapted to an 11-episode TV drama which aired on TBS in 2006. The television version co-starred Haruka Ayase and Takayuki Yamada, but this version has been recast with Maki Horikita and Kengo Kora in the lead roles.
Plot: As children, Yukiho (Maki) and Ryoji (Kora) each murder one of their parents to protect the other. Now young adults, they go to extreme measures to protect their mutual secret, even if it means bringing misery to those around them. Eiichiro Funakoshi plays a detective who was involved in the original case and has been closely monitoring the pair as they’ve grown up.
“Into the White Night” will be theatrically released by Gaga Communications in Japan on January 29, 2011.
