Tokyo Revengers Live-Action

Berikut beberapa pertanyaan yang sudah dikurasi oleh tim MoviegoersID dalam bahasa Inggris, silakan disimak ya.

  • What was the biggest challenge that you and your team faced in adapting this into live-action for big screen? And how did you overcome it?

Tokyo Revengers have a lot of aspects in the manga. Not only about battle and fights between gangs, but the more important aspect is the relationship between characters and the sci-fi aspect. For the fans, already understand how the story works, but we need to make sure that it’s clear for non-fans, that this is not only a story about a war between gangs, it’s a story that involves a lot of emotions.

  • Adapting a very well-loved title must be a very big challenge. Did you ever feel worried about the reception of this movie from the fans?

We (the producer and the director) have read the original material and we’ve developed it for quite a while. When the manga exploded in terms of popularity, we were already in the final stage of filming so we weren’t particularly feeling pressured. We felt really excited instead. We hope the fans will love this movie as much as they love the manga.

  • For non-tokrev fans, can you tell us what they can expect in this movie?

It’s a very exciting story with very relatable characters. The main character is just an ordinary man, not even typically handsome, but you can relate to him. This movie is basically a question of “what would you do if you got a second chance?

  • Adapting story from different media (in this case from manga to movie) means you have to adjust the way to tell the story to fit into your new medium, what’s your advice to filmmakers out there who also want to do a film adaptation of a manga or book?

I think you have to really understand what kind of story you want to tell in your new medium, besides understanding the original material, of course. Sometimes you have to choose what works and what doesn’t and you have to really like what you’re working with.

  • Is there anything you’d like to say to Indonesia moviegoers and Indonesia tokrev fans?

We’re really happy that Tokyo Revengers can be seen by fans outside of Japan. We hope you will all go to the cinema to watch this movie
