Bleach (Japanese: ブリーチ, Hepburn: Burīchi) is an upcoming Japanese film produced by Warner Bros, based on the manga series of the same name by Tite Kubo, and directed by Shinsuke Sato.[1][2] The film will star Sota Fukushi, best known for portraying the protagonist of Kamen Rider Fourze, as the main protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki. It is set to be released in Japan on July 20, 2018.[3][4]

Premise

High school student Ichigo Kurosaki has the ability to see ghosts. One day, his family is attacked by a demonic spirit—Hollow—that eats human soul. There appeared a mysterious woman who called herself "Soul Reaper", Rukia Kuchiki. She urges Ichigo to make the ultimate choice. Will he be killed along with his family or will he become a Soul Reaper that protects all people in the world from Hollows? Before Ichigo, who chose to live as a Soul Reaper, a fight beyond imagination awaited.[1]

Production

Development

In 2008, Tite Kubo stated that he wished to make Bleach an experience that can only be found by reading manga, dismissing ideas of creating any live-action film adaptations of the series.[8] When the film adaptation was announced, however, Kubo decided to be involved with its production to ensure its faithfulness to the manga and anime, so that both old and new fans may enjoy it. He also stated that his only concern was the color of Ichigo's hair, which in the manga and anime is a bright shade of orange. He said, "If that color is in the live-action movie, it'd be strange, so I wonder what they're going to do!"[9] Regarding what fans could expect in the live-action adaptation, Sota Fukushi, who will portray Ichigo, stated that the film would feature "the monstrous Hollows, otherworldly Soul Society, and destructive Zanpakuto sword-fighting techniques".[10]

The 10th issue of the 2018 Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine released the visual for Rukia Kuchiki, revealing that Hana Sugisaki will portray the character.[5][11] In March 2018, the film's official Twitter account revealed that Uryū Ishida, Renji Abarai and Byakuya Kuchiki will be portrayed by Ryo Yoshizawa, Taichi Saotome and Miyavi respectively.[7][12] In May 2018, the film's official twitter account revealed an additional cast that includes Erina Mano, Yu Koyanagi, Seiichi Tanabe, Yōsuke Eguchi and Masami Nagasawa, which portrays Orihime Inoue, Yasutora "Chad" Sado, Kisuke Urahara, Isshin Kurosaki and Masaki Kurosaki respectively.[13][6]

Release

Marketing

After months of speculation from fans and critics, paired with months of silence from Warner Bros. Japan, a teaser trailer was released online on July 6, 2017, also revealing a poster for the movie in the process.[14] On January 1, 2018, to hype the movie's release in Summer of 2018, to commemorate the beginning of the new year and to thank the support of the fans of the anime and movie project, a short message was shared via the movie's official Twitter account.[15]

On February 5, 2018, it was revealed that the movie would premiere on July 20, 2018 in Japan.[3] A teaser trailer was released on February 21, 2018 which was praised for its faithful adaptation of the series' first chapter.[16][17][18] In April 2018, the first official trailer was released, which also revealed the film's theme song by Alexandros, titled "Mosquito Bite".[19][20] In June 2018, Warner Bros. Japan released the final trailer for the film, which confirmed the film's main antagonist is a Hollow called Grand Fisher.[21]
