Sion Sono to Direct Himizu Movie

Reportedly cult favorite director Sion Sono has confirmed plans to film an adaptation of Furuya Minoru’s 2001 psychological drama manga series Himizu. While Minoru may be best known to Americans as the creator of Let’s Go! Inachuu Ping-Pong Club, Himizu is “a dark tale about a troubled junior high boy whose life falls apart.” Sono is the director of twisted, psychological horror films including Suicide Circle, Strange Circus, and Love Exposure.
