The official website for Gen Takahashi (http://www.indexgun.com/)'s Goth is now online.

The screenplay for Goth was written by Takahashi, Michio Kashiwada, Takashi Hotta, Midori Saitô, and Gram™, based on Otsuichi (http://www.shueisha.co.jp/otsuichi/)'s Goth: A Novel of Horror (Goth: risutokatto jiken (http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/4048733907/)). The movie stars (listed order corresponds to order on flyer) Kanata Hongô (http://official.stardust.co.jp/kanata/), Rin Takanashi (http://www.stardust.co.jp/profile/takanashirin.html), Toshinobu Matsuo (http://www.m-toshinobu.com/), Miyu Yagyû (http://www.miyuyagyu.com/), Sô Yamanaka, Minoru Torihada (http://www.torihada.com/), Yûna Natsuo (http://homepage3.nifty.com/T-ARTIST/natsuo/natsuo-pr.html), Kei Nakata (http://www.kei-nakata.com/), and Keishi Nagatsuka (http://www.asagayaspiders.net/).

There are synopses for all six of the stories that comprise Goth: A Novel of Horror in the belowlinked Wikipedia article on it.

Jolly Roger Inc. (http://www.jollyroger.jp/) (K.K. Jorî Rojâ) plans to release Goth theatrically in Japan in late December.

J.T. Petty (http://www.pettyofficial.com/)'s Goth is likewise to be based on Goth: A Novel of Horror. The official website for that movie isn't online yet; however, the URL for it is http://www.goth-movie.com/. BTW, according to Petty, his hoaxumentary (http://www.hoaxumentary.com/) S&man is finally set to be released on DVD in the U.S.; he is quoted on the TIFF 2008 Midnight Madness Blog as having said that it "basically made it into the world through fan demand overriding the legal hassle of getting it releasable. Hopefully it'll be on shelves within six months."

Looks interesting enough, I guess. At least no one in the film has to dye their hair black!!:lol:

Very interesting stuff - I enjoy these posts. Opens my mind to a lot of Asian cinema I don't hear about, otherwise.

4Digital Media Ltd. (http://www.4digitalmedia.com/) is scheduled to release Gen Takahashi (http://www.indexgun.com/)'s Goth on DVD (PAL, region 2, English subtitles) in the U.K. on September 21st, under the title "Goth: Love of Death"; the DVD is available for pre-order from Amazon.co.uk.

Here's a description of Goth: Love of Death from 4Digital Media: "Morino (Rin Takanashi) and Kamiyama (Kanata Hongô - K-20: Legend of the Mask) share an odd fascination with human cruelty and murder. Kamiyama knew they would share a connection as soon as he noticed a cut mark on her wrist. Together they track a brutal serial killer in an attempt to find the latest two victims; not necessarily to help bring the killer to justice, but simply for their own morbid need to inspect his or her handiwork. Who is the real victim or killer in this bizarre tale of love and death?"
