Premise

The film is about Suzume, a 17-year-old girl who lives in a quiet town in the Kyushu region of southwestern Japan. The story begins when Suzume meets a young man looking for a "door". The two travel together and find an old door at an abandoned house in the mountains. As if pulled by something, Suzume reaches out her hand towards the door and is pulled in. "Doors of Disaster" begin to appear across Japan, which started a series of unfortunate disasters.

The film is a journey through Japan as Suzume needs to close and lock the "Doors of Disaster" one by one to stop the disasters, as well as an adventure and battle in the modern world in search of a girl's maturity and freedom.[1]

Voice cast

• Nanoka Hara as Suzume Iwato (岩戸 鈴芽, Iwato Suzume)[2]
• Hokuto Matsumura as Sōta Munakata (宗像 草太, Munakata Sōta)[3]

Production

Director Makoto Shinkai and his staff planned the project from January to March 2020. They started developing the film's script in April, which is when the Japanese government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] In an interview with TV Asahi, Shinkai mentions that the pandemic had a less tangible effect on the film's production. However, he said that "the mood of the times is indelibly etched into the script," adding that the film will have a post-apocalyptic theme.[5] After finishing the script in August, the storyboards were drafted from September 2020 to December 2021, while the production of the animation started in April 2021.[4]

The film was officially unveiled during a press conference on December 15, 2021. The film's staff includes Masayoshi Tanaka as the character designer, Kenichi Tsuchiya as the animation director, and Takumi Tanji as the art director.[4]

Casting

Nanoka Hara was revealed as the voice of Suzume Iwato on July 5, 2022. Shinkai selected her from an audition involving more than 1,700 people. Hara has been a fan of Shinkai's works, remarking that she could not imagine being the one to share the "unforgettable, heart-shaking sensation" she felt when first seeing one of his films in theaters.[2][6] On September 6, 2022, Hokuto Matsumura's role as Sōta Munakata was revealed. He described the character as one that "I had never seen in any of the director's works." Therefore, Matsumura gave a voice for Sōta that he "had never heard before," which involved using a slightly lower tone. Shinkai found his voice to be "impressive" and that it "embodies the character."[7] Suzume and Sōta will serve as Hara and Matsumura's first anime voice-acting roles.[2][7]

Marketing

A teaser poster was released alongside the film's announcement.[4] On April 9, 2022, an updated version featuring the film's protagonist was released online and as a full-page advertisement in the morning edition of The Asahi Shimbun newspaper.[8][9] It was also announced that the film would be released on November 11.[8] Toho debuted a teaser trailer on April 10, 2022,[10] and a full trailer was released on July 15.[11]

Release

Suzume no Tojimari will be released theatrically in Japan by Toho on November 11, 2022, through regular and IMAX screenings.[8][12] The film will have an advance IMAX screening on November 7 for eligible watchers who are decided through a lottery.[12]

Crunchyroll, in partnership with Sony Pictures and Wild Bunch International, have acquired the film's global distribution rights outside of Asia, and will release it in early 2023.[13]

Adaptations

A novel adaptation written by Shinkai was released on August 24, 2022, under the Kadokawa Bunko imprint.[14][15] A portion of the novel was included in a booklet distributed during the 2022 Kadobun Summer Fair, which was held in Japanese bookstores on June 10.[15]
