THE JUON

The definitive piece of "Japanese horror" sensation blows violently in Hollywood finally appears!
"Spider-Man"'s Sam Raimi invites the original director, Mr. Shimizu to Hollywood, and displays evolution of fear! 

Director: Takashi Shimizu: 
The original Title: The Grudge / 2004 United States film / Ceneter International work 
Presented by: Japan Herald Movie, Pioneer LDC, clock works, 2004 on theatre
 
 

 
Can I laugh the part it says "Spider-Man"'s Sam Raimi" ?

 
The original title (Japanese title) is Curst Grudge (JUON)...

 
He crawls on the underpart of the roof or stairs like Spider-Man.

 
Sam Raimi is a horror movie director, though they are like "The Evil Dead" kind a horror (laugh)

 
Rather than -- he was famous as a horror director from the beginning, but since after "The Spider-Man"'s  hit...

I wanted that to say "The Evil Dead's Sam Raimi" instead.

 
But I feel that Raimi's first two movies were just happened to be horror, and he isn't really a horror diredtor.

 
Looks like there will be a special screening at Shinjuku Teatoru to celebrate the Juon 2. More info is at the site.

Wooow! If you close the site...

Up already.

2 looks scary, more than 1. I am curious about Kayako. But more, Toshio boy is cute.
 
 

 
If you look at the picture, surely it looks scary.
Until I will be seeing the real movie, I need not to look at them.

 
I am also looking forward the novel Juon2, too.
BTW, Yui Ichikawa's uniform looks different from the first one in the photo.

 
As far as the story at the site says, it's more spookyer than the first. I get shiver when I was reading it. Anyway, I've decided not to see any info before seeing the movie. I've got to preper perfect.

>>622
Probably, because of what happend to Izumi, she might moved to the other town. (Yui-tan)
 

 
Video Juon2's package's Kayako in the photo is pretty good looking though.

 
Please don't make a movie like audience has to read the novel to understand. Well, at this time, it may not be like that as far as what the outline says.

 
The photo on that site is already scary...

Kei Horie's profile doesn't include the history of "Ainori", it's pretty scary... No?

 
It's scary just to think about what is 627.

 
Isn't it better not to have too much expectation...?
I have a feeling that it'll be like the first one.

>>611
Can't read it.

 
The most scary part is the untitled document....

>>630
I personally don't really like "Unexpectedly good movie".

>632
I know, I kept it in my favorite page, but I'm always thinking "what page was it?"
Maybe they made the site in rush, and forgot to title it.

Shingo Katsuyama
Won the 1990, JUON super boy contest Grand Prix award.

 
Perhaps, like Noripy-(*Tack note: nick name of Noriko) Kobayashi's wife, her stomach might got cut and pulled out the baby.

 
Or, the baby come out breaking the mom's stomach...
There might be some scene like that in SF-alien kind movies.
There are many movie like woman pregnanting mysterious creature, in western films.

 
New born baby will be the rebrithed Kayako or Toshio.

>>637
Like "Rosemary's Baby."?

 
Noriko Sakai may be good in the dark scene on the screen.
I think there will be a good gap from her quiet expression in the bright scene.
Unexpectedly Katsuyama might be like that too. At any rate, I am expecting  this time too, since it looks pretty interesting.

What is the chance to see the black cat in row at the center of the 4 corners????

>>638

That might be it, since it says "Shojo Kayako" next to the Cast.
 
 

 
There was a pop-up at the rental video store!
And the Juon2 info was displayed under it.
The poster looks like Kayako pulling her white arms.

>>642
It says that is God advent.

>>638
It looks like infinite hell. 
(shaking, trembling)

 
Is it true that Kayako will rest in peace at the end?
I hate to see such a scene like Kayako and Toshio having touchy conversation and dies smiling.

Please cheer for me from now on, too.

1 didn't resolved any problems, right?. Ring is also the same though.

Movie of "Kagome Kagome"

Won't let you go alone...

Noooooo!
 

 
Let's see tonight's "Matthew." (*2)

>>651

I though it is being Age, but it's been sage-ed, so I will age. (*3)
 

age

 

I heard that Noriko Sakai became woman owner of a hotel, but this will make her advance to overseas. At least she should beat Yuki Kudoh!
 
 
 

?????????

Noripy staring Juon2 had contracted 24 country.

Looks like Juon is at the boom.

 
"Do you pronunciate Two (2) Juon ? (laugh)"

 
Shimizu-kun is getting far away...

 
Tuu (=2) ("Pain" in Kanji character), San (=3) ("Cruel" in Kanji character) Shi(=4) ("Dead" in Kanji character)

 
There are 3-4 reviews on the screening at some sites, and they are all pretty good...
I think we should expect high.
But hey Kadokawa, why did you make MEIMU to do the comic?! That manga artist style is not scary even the art is beautiful !
Have Motoshi Takaminato (*4)do the comic version!

>>661

Ha Ha Ha,
Last work was comicalize version of "Ryuki" (*5)
 

 
I want Kamui Fujiwara to do the comic. He was also drawing for the program flyer, too.

 
The employee of the real estate in the video version, is my type. I wanna have sex with her. wannna gush out my sperm.

>style is not scary even the art is beautiful !

Hagedo
 

 
A test to say impossible request of "have Daijiro Moroboshi to do the manga"

 
Grudge means only "On" part of "JUON", right?
That's weak title, though.

 
Well, JUON is coined word anyway.
Japanese language is useful that any word can be made just by the look of the Kanji character.

>666

If Moroboshi will do the manga, it will be as scary as the first impression of this movie. 
 

>>661

Is Motoshi Takaminato scary?
I want the manga artist who did "ZASHIKIONNA".(*6)
 

 
Although, this might be off subject from this thread, I'd like to recommend Junji Ito.

 
Junji Ito's art is great.
But, why the movie "Tomie", "Uzumaki", and "Kakashi" are like that?
Since it's not this thread topic, sage.

 
Junji Ito did "MIMIBUKURO" (*7)

 
I remember when I rent the fist JUON video, I was also curious about UZUMAKI.

 
The cast of UZUMAKI wasn't good.
They should have used better actors.

 
As far as reading HIHO's report, looks like there are no solution for the mystery at this time. Are they continuing this series?

>>676

Next will be "JUON O"
Based on the novel, like RING.
Kayako's student time--The secret of Toshio's birth--Right before the murder
...Sounds like this might be very realistically happen, so it's scary.
 
 

>>677
I'm looking forward that.

*1 : Wataru Yamazaki
He appears to various threads of 2 ch. 

*2: "Matthew" 
TV show, "Matthew's Best Hit TV" hosted by a guy names "Matthew Minami" acts by a comedian, Takashi Fujii. Looks like Austin Power (?)

*3: "Age" , "Sage" 
"Age" means, "up", and "Sage" means "down". Each person will include either one of the word when they post a message and the life of the thread will be determined by this key word. 

*4 : "Motoshi Takaminato"
Who did the Hiroshi Takahashi's (Ring) "Joyurei" manga.

*5 : "Ryuki"
Kamen Rider Ryuki. From this Kamen Rider series, this show became even more popular among mothers of the kids. Because of the looks of the hero. (Very host-club type)

*6 : "ZASHIKIONNA"
MINETAROU MOCHIZUKI an author of "Dragon Head."

*7 : "MIMIBUKURO"
The true horror story book. It was said that this story gave a influence to Ring and Juon. There is a movie too.
