The Town Where Only I Am Missing Time Travels to Japan This March
What if you had the ability to travel back through time to prevent something devastating from taking place? And what if you had to continuously return to a specific moment until that particular disaster was wiped from the history books?
Although this sounds a lot like the Stephen King novel 11.22.63, the aforementioned scenario also serves as the premise behind director Yuichiro Hirakawa’s upcoming Japanese sci-fi/fantasy thriller The Town Where Only I Am Missing. But instead of preventing a presidential assassination, our time-traveling hero must stop a serial killer before he begins a terrifying spree of vicious murders. Still, it’s essentially the same premise in a slightly different package.
Synopsis:
Satoru Fujinuma is an unpopular manga artist. He doesn’t like having relationships with other people. He also works part-time delivering pizzas. Satoru Fujinuma also has the special ability of “revival.” His special ability allows him to go back in time before terrible incidents occurred and right whatever wrong occurred. He goes back continually until the incidents are prevented.
18 years ago, a serial murder case took place with the victims being children. Satoru Fujinuma goes back to that time to catch the killer and to save his mother who faced the criminal. He does this in the body of an elementary school student.
The Town Where Only I Am Missing, starring Tatsuya Fujiwara (Battle Royale, Death Note) and Kasumi Arimura, opens in theaters throughout Japan on March 19, 2016. Check out the latest trailer for the flick below.
