Sion Sono To Direct Adaptation of Minoru Furuya's Dark Manga HIMIZU
According to Ryuganji's Don Brown acclaimed director Sion Sono has settled on a new project to follow the upcoming Guilty of Romance. Word is that Sono is now adapting Minoru Furuya's dark psychological manga Himizu for the screen.
Best known as a comedy writer - he made a big splash with his debut, Ping-Pong Club - Himizu marked a major change of pace for Furuya. The story dives into the psychology of a troubled junior high boy as he crumbles under the pressure of his life. And while that may have shocked fans of Furuya's earlier style when it was published it seems perfectly in keeping with the themes and tone of Sono's best known works.
