Whilst not a character, perse, Mitochondrial Eve will feature heavily in this movie.Curtains) is the surgeon who will perform the kidney transplant Mariko Anzai a junior high school girl who needs a kidney transplant.Sachiko Asakura Toshiaki’s lab assistant.
Kiyomi Nagashima this is Toshiaki’s wife.The Castīecause it might prove difficult to keep tabs on who is who, here is a list of the most important characters: Who is a junior high schooler in both the book and the movieĪnd Hidekai Sena - the author of the book - didn’t know about the games until the early 2000s. The video game was a direct sequel to the book, with the main character (Aya Brea) being the daughter of Mariko Anzai With changes made, in order to make it more of a romantic film As mentioned above, the movie and the games take two slightly different paths: where the movie is an attempt at retelling the story 1998’s Parasite Eve for PlayStation must have been in development from shortly before the movie started pre-production, which bears out quite well because a demo was shown off at E3 in 1997. After which it went to VHS, and was exported to the West - starting the J-Horror craze of the late 90s and early 2000sĪnd it was just under a year after the movie came out that the first game was released. Interestingly, considering that it had a sizable budget, it was only released to Japanese theatres for one week. The entire movie had a total cost of (in 1997 money) $900,000 - for context, Titanic had a budge of $200 million (again in 1997 money).
