As was first reported here on Twitch back on May 5th of last year, there's a trailer for Takahisa Zeze's Sanctuary (Mrs.) - a.k.a. "Sankuchuari" - on the website of production company Legend Pictures K.K. (K.K. Rejendo Pikuchâzu). (Note: "Mrs." was the original title of the movie in question; "Sanctuary" is its new title in English, and "Sankuchuari" is its new title in romanized Japanese.) Argo Pictures K.K. (Arugo Pikuchâzu K.K.) plans to release the movie at the Euro Space (Yûro Supêsu) in Tokyo in September. As was reported here on Twitch back on April 10th, the movie had its world première at the Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF) in Korea on May 1st.
The screenplay for Sanctuary was written by Zeze. The movie stars (listed order corresponds to poster order) Asuka Kurosawa, Yôko Yamashita, Misaki (a.k.a. Misaki Mori), Shirô Shimomoto, Bunmei Tobayama, Nobuhiro Takeda, Ken Mitsuishi, and Isamu Nagato. It was scored by Gorô Yasukawa.
