Junji Ito meets Robert Eggers in a special promotion for the upcoming theatrical release of The Lighthouse over in Japan, we’ve learned, with Ito turning the film into a manga!
The Twitter account @MangaMoguraRE reports, “Junji Ito created a summary manga for black & white horror movie The Lighthouse starring Robert Pattinson & Willem Dafoe that will be distributed in Japanese cinemas to promote its theatrical release in Japan on July 9.”
Yahoo explains in further detail, “The Lighthouse was supposed to be released in Japan last year but was delayed to July 9, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To support the film, Ito has created an 8-page manga explaining the story of the film that will be distributed to moviegoers who buy a ticket.”
The Lighthouse stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson as two lighthouse keepers slowly losing their grip on reality. A24 describes the black & white film as “a hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.” The perfect tale for Junji Ito to interpret in his own iconic style? You bet.
Check out a sneak peek preview below!
