Sri Lanka is a good launching pad for a new culture of oriental thinking. About the film itself, Fujimoto is yet very secretive. Filming of the movie, expected to begin by October will be mainly in Colombo but places in Galle Weligama and Kandy have also been explored. Asked how the Japanese audiences will receive the film which is about a World War 11 misdeed attempted by the Japanese Imperial Airforce, both Fujimoto and Katsura said that the people of Japan are truly sorry that such an event occurred. The cast would also consist 90 percent of Sri Lankans, with several Japanese as co-actors.
Final selections are yet to be done.
Film director is Yoshishige Yoshida. In the event that everything goes according to schedule, the movie will be released on February 4, 1998- 50 years since independence. Later in the year it will be released worldwide. Fujimoto said that he would like to do other projects in the country. The texture and grain in Druvinka's work is like a consciousness from which her choices and actions ultimately flow.
