Mao Inoue is set to play a woman suspected of murder in Yoshihiro Nakamura’s Shirayukihime Satsujin Jiken (lit. Snow White Murder Case), the latest film adaptation of a novel by author Kanae Minato (Confessions, A Chorus of Angels).
The story was originally serialized in the magazine Shōsetsu Subaru
as various accompanying information was uploaded to Shueisha’s literary
website Renzaburo. Because of
this experiment, the novelization became a hot topic early on and offers
began flooding in for a live-action adaptation before it was even
published.
In the film, Inoue will play an office worker at a cosmetics company
named Shirono Miki who everyone suspects of having murdered her
beautiful co-worker, Noriko Miki. Soon, a tabloid television program is
broadcast featuring interviews with various people including co-workers,
family members, former classmates, and people from Noriko’s hometown as
rumors about her begin to multiply at a staggering rate thanks to the
intense media attention and the rapid sharing of gossip on the internet.
Go Ayano, who just finished shooting his latest film Soko nomi nite Hikari Kagayaku on Monday, will play the director of the TV show, Yuji Akahoshi.
Filming of “Shirayukihime Satsujin Jiken” is expected to take place
throughout Nagano from July 9 to August. It will be released by Shochiku
in Japan next spring.
