Film producer and screenwriter Norio Enomoto has uploaded a trailer for an upcoming film he’s written and directed called A Sky Too Far to See (Mienai hodo no Tooku no Sora o).
The film stars Ryu Morioka (To Walk Beside You) as Ken, a young film student hard at work on his graduation film project. However, the female lead, Risa (Natsuki Okamoto)—who had been at odds with Ken regarding the final scene—dies in an accident right before they get a chance to shoot it. Thus, the film is shelved.
A year later, Ken meets Risa’s twin sister, Yoko. He decides to re-shoot the final scene of his movie with her in the lead, but once again things don’t go quite according to plan.
The film’s youth-slanted main cast also includes Daichi Watanabe (The Shikisoku Generation), Ichiro Hashimoto (son of Koji Yakusho), Takahiro Sato (The Taste of Tea), Tomoya Maeno, and Mukau Nakamura.
Tokyo Theatres and Community Ad will be releasing “A Sky Too Far to See” at Shibuya Human Trust Cinema on June 11, 2011 with a nation-wide release to follow.
