Hahahahahah, they actually did it! So cute, but Aya's looking pretty distressed there tbh.

 

I like all the ophelia imagery and symbolism going on, Millais' painting of her is one of my favourites, that sort of beautiful-sinister thing going on in it really suits the series too.

If anyone wants to see Nakajo and Morikawa advertising popcorn they're probably not allowed to eat, Famitsu has you covered:

Going through some Japanese Magazines (seventeen's October issue to be precise),I found these pages.Too bad I can't understand a thing xD

But both of them are models in this magazine.And we can get a look at some scenes and behind the scenes as well.

So... is there any news about the movie? I want SO bad to watch it but looks like I will have to wait a few more months...  T-T

Someone posted a fuller plot summary on Wikipedia, if anyone's interested. Assuming it's accurate, there are some interesting deviations from the novel, but it actually ended up being more similar than I was expecting. It seems like the curse has been simplified a lot, which is understandable - it was pretty confusing.

I kind of hope they haven't cut the bit about the Headmistress being cursed with immortality and being forced to perform sacrifices every few years, because Mio Takaishi's implacable rage is one of my favourite aspects. But it seems like they've played down the incest angle of the Asou/Saginomiya siblings a LOT, and after FF5 I'm a bit grateful for that. I need a break from incest for a while.

 

The summary doesn't really mention Takashi's role at all, except in dying and getting blamed for Maya's murder, so I'm pretty curious how they deal with that. I assume they wouldn't cut all the stuff about him wanting to help Maya and being the vehicle for the spread of the curse, since if you lose that you might as well cut the whole character.

 

Dammit, still two months till the DVD comes out. I want to know nowwww.
