The upcoming live-action movie adaptation of Makoto Shinkai‘s 5 Centimeters Per Second has received a teaser visual, which depicts main star Hokuto Matsumura in front of a sakura tree.
It was also announced that the film will premiere in Japan on October 10 JST.
The 5 Centimeters Per Second anime was released in 2007 and had a runtime of 63 minutes. The romance drama told its story across three chapters, beginning in the 1990s and ending in the 21st century. Netflix describes the premise as:
Inseparable fourth-graders Takaki Tonoo and Akari Shinohara – bonded by a love of books – begin to slowly drift apart when their families relocate.
The anime has received a novelization from Shinkai. It also inspired a manga and the novel 5 Centimeters Per Second: One More Side, which depicts the viewpoint of Akari.
