Revealed a few weeks back, 15-year-old actress Moe Arai stars in Tomie Unlimited, the latest live-action film based on Junji Ito’s popular Japanese horror manga series “Tomie”. The short stories in the original manga centered around a mysterious girl who appears again and again in various people’s lives and haunts them until their eventual end. Arai plays Tsukiko, a girl whose older sister is revived after an accident. 19-year-old actress and occasional manga creator Miu Nakamura will play Tomie herself. Director Noboru Iguchi – best known for Machine Girl & Robo Geisha – began shooting the film back on September 23. Since 1999, there have been seven live-action theatrical Tomie films and one live-action television adaptation. A US remake is still in development.
