Rohan au Louvre (岸辺露伴 ルーヴルへ行く, Kishibe Rohan Rūvuru e Iku, lit. Rohan Kishibe Va au Louvre) est un film en live-action réalisé par Kazutaka Watanake et coproduit parAsmik Ace, Inc., la NHK Enterprises et P.I.C.S. Co. Le film est une adaptation du one-shot Rohan au Louvre et fait partie de la continuité du drama Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan de la NHK. Le film a été annoncé officiellement le 4 janvier 2023 et sortira en salles au Japon le 26 mai 2023.[1]
Selon l'acteur Issey Takahashi, le film est essentiellement le neuvième épisode du drama.[1]
Il existe quelque un tableau dont on dit qu'il est le plus sombre et le plus maléfique. Rohan Kishibe, un mangaka doté d'un pouvoir spécial part à la poursuite de ce tableau et finira par le trouver dans les tréfonds du Louvre en France. Là, il découvrira à quel point le tableau maudit est dangereux...
It has now been three years since I was first given the chance to play the character of Rohan Kishibe. Whether it be in a drama or in a movie, every time I am allowed to play Rohan Kishibe is an extremely special event in my life.
As I write this comment for the reveal, I am currently on-site in Paris. Ever since the first season of the drama, I have had an incredible Japanese team around me working hard to bring Rohan Kishibe to life. In addition to the Japanese filming crew here, we have been joined for the past few days by a local French team so professional and sincere that it feels like we've worked together on all three seasons. I am truly witnessing the creation of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
During the filming of the first season, I spoke to director Kazutaka about adapting Rohan au Louvre, only seeing it as a pipe dream. I said to him then, "Someday, I hope we can actually start shooting in Paris." And now, actually standing on the paved streets of Paris, I don't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable being Rohan, which I believe is due to the outstanding staff work supporting me. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly grateful that, despite being in a foreign country, nothing about playing Rohan has changed.
The Japanese part of the work, which was produced in parallel with the third season of the drama, plays just as important of a role as the French part we're shooting right now. Topics such as bloodlines, inheritance, and the past play key roles in any work related to JoJo, and those topics will be explored in this work as well. One must inevitably face those things in order to exist in the present, and time can be both kind and cruel to everyone. Rohan is no exception: in this work, he too must interrogate his own existence.
This work is conceptually part of the live-action Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan drama, and the story functions as its ninth episode. If you've followed the drama series so far, you'll naturally enjoy the movie, but I think people who don't know anything about what Rohan's been up to in his own series will enjoy it, too.
I hope everyone who comes to the theater will enjoy this very unique work.
The third season of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan drama has just finished airing... To tell the truth, we've been working on filming this movie the whole time! Just as I mentioned in one of my lines in the last episode of the drama, Rohan-sensei finally goes to the Louvre! And as his editor, I'll be going to Paris with him!
I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude toward the wonderful team that has always supported us, but also toward the new staff members who have joined us this time around and allowed us to perform in this wonderful new environment! Once we began shooting with the local staff team in France, I managed to overcome the language barrier between us and savor the excitement of helping bring a project of this scale to life. It's going to be an unforgettable experience, trust me.
It makes me so happy that another new episode is being added to this work, which everyone's been looking forward to for a long time! Rohan-sensei and Kyoka face the mysteries hidden within the distant Louvre Museum, along with the past itself! I hope you all enjoy this work just as much as the last one!
This is my first time working with the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan team, but the teamwork of those who have been working on the series so far was quite comfortable, and I could feel their passionate desire to make each and every scene into a complete work of art.
The original story has a lot of dedicated fans, both in Japan and abroad, so I felt a lot of pressure. Thanks to the support of the cast and staff, though, I think I was able to rise to the challenge of approaching this work in a method, role, and perspective that I can't say I've experienced before. I look forward to seeing this movie as much as all of the fans awaiting its release, if only to see how the scenes I didn't appear in were filmed!
I was quite surprised to be offered this role. As a fan of the series, I enjoyed both the original work and the drama version in which Issey Takahashi played the leading role, so I was very happy to be able to enter this world.
I thought up a lot of details based on each and every panel of Rohan Kishibe's past from the original work, and director Watanabe and I discussed it all while working on the film. With such a wonderful staff team supporting us, we had a lot of fun during filming.
I'd like to say something simple to wrap this up... Please come see us in the theater! I hope you all enjoy this wonderful world of ours.
I am very happy to be able to participate in the popular Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series. I simply can't wait to start filming in Paris! I'm confident that I'll be able to deliver my work to you in the best condition possible. Please look forward to seeing me in the world of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.
When I was a child, I used to steal my older brother's manga. Alone and scared, I would read the world of Hirohiko Araki. I would awake with a jolt whenever those images appeared in my dreams.
Time passed, and one day I found Rohan au Louvre at a local bookstore. I picked up the book and, despite my apprehension, began turning its pages... Before long, I was drawn into the profoundly mysterious story and became captivated by it. Every detail of the work felt inspired, and it was at that moment I knew I had become an adult.
And now, I am playing a part in this story. I still can't believe it. The costumes and sets truly do reflect Rohan's world. I had such a delightful time on the set, and I could feel the trust that Mr. Takahashi, Ms. Iitoyo, Mr. Watanabe, and the staff around them had built up over the years. It really was an exciting experience.
I eagerly await the day when this beautiful and mysterious story, so distinct from the manga, will play out before your eyes.
The city of Paris seen in the movie The Conformist is decadent and dismal. It's not a city of flowers where people celebrate life, but rather a dark city filled with the stench of death and perversion. Ever since the project started three years ago, the visuals, artistic scenery, and costume design of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan have taken heavy inspiration from that movie.
When I visited Paris to begin shooting, I found a beautiful but cold world draped with thick and heavy clouds on the verge of falling, where the freezing-cold rain kept pouring down, just like in The Conformist. And now, Rohan Kishibe is standing there.
It's an odd feeling, a mix of déjà vu and exhilaration. But there is not a hint of sentimentality. Rohan is supposed to be there, and there he is. Filming begins as usual.
When I first heard that Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan was going to be made into a live-action series, I didn't have the slightest clue that it would also become a movie. Also, as the series went on and we selected the original works to be adapted, au Louvre was never included in our list of candidates. A two-piece story that unrealistic is now being brought to life.
This is one of the rare stories that focuses on Rohan himself. By all means, I hope you enjoy it in the theater.
