"In This Corner of the World" Director Has Started Working on Its Extended Version

In Japan, the DVD/Blu-ray of the anime film adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno’s award-winning manga Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni/In This Corner of the World is set to be released tomorrow, September 15. Director Sunao Katabuchi today expressed his concern about bad reviews on Amazon and other online stores due to a lack of the film’s extended version that reflected his original plan.

Katabuchi originally planned to make a 150-minute film on a 400 million yen budget and drew a storyboard with that length. But failing to collect enough funds, he had to cut off 30 minutes worth of scenes and completed the 129-minute film on a budget of 250 million yen. After the film achieved an unexpected box office success with 2.6 billion yen in Japan, producer Taro Maki confirmed on his Twitter in December 2016 that they received a green light for the extended version. So some fans have expected the version should be included in the DVD/Blu-ray.

Katabuchi thanks and apologies to the comments as below:

“The version to be released this time is not the extended version. We brushed the theatrical version up,

which has been screened since November 12 of last year. The film completed with this length has found

its place in many audience and has received many awards. This has already become one completed version.

The longer version based on my original storyboard will be produced as another different film than the

current one. We have already started working on it, and it just started in August. We concentrated on the

brushup work for the current version for over six months till this July. After this, we will enhance our work

more on the extended version, but it shouldn’t be cheaply produced. We want to make it more carefully,

and it requires some length of time. And I have to say this again, even after the extended version is

completed, I think the current version will keep having its meaning.”

①『この世界の片隅に』DVD&BD、アマゾンなどで「監督の本来のプランどおりの長尺化が実現できていない」という理由で☆を少なめに入れておられる方もおられるようですが、ありがたいお声であり、しかしごめんなさい。今回発売されるのはそれとは別のもの、昨年11月12日以来劇場公開されて→

→②きたバージョンをブラッシュアップしたものです。この長さで完成された映画はすでにたくさんのお客さんたちの中に居場所を見つけたものであり、たくさんの映画賞をいただいてきたものでもあります。この形はすでにひとつの完成形なのです。当初作成した絵コンテに沿ったより長尺であるバージョン→

→③は現行のものとはまた別なもうひとつの映画として完成することになるでしょう。そしてそのための作業にも実のところすでに着手し始めているのですが、それはこの8月からスタートしたばかりです。本年7月までは半年以上かけて現行版のブラッシュアップ作業を徹底して行っていました。この先→

→④長尺版の作業もさらに充実させていきますが、それは一朝一夕に完成するような安普請なものではなく、もっとじっくりと作り上げたいわけです。それなりに長い時間をいただくことになります。そして、繰り返しになりますが、長尺版の完成後にも現行の映画は意味を持ち続けるだろうと思っています。
