The official website for the live-action film adaptation of Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu's The Promised Neverland manga has released information on a new ad in Shibuya featuring Krone.
Minami Hamabe will be starring as the main protagonist, Emma, who is described as "innocent and straightforward."
Jyo Kairi will be playing "realist and cool boy" Rei and Rihito Itagaki will be playing the "intelligent and leader boy" Norman.
Keiko Kitagawa is cast as Mom Isabella and Naomi Watanabe is cast as Sister Krone.
Yūichirō Hirakawa is directing the film. The screenplay is written by Noriko Goto.
The film is set to be released December 18, 2020.
In the original manga, the age at when the children are "shipped" was 12-years-old, but for the film that age has been raised to 16-years-old.
Viz Media summarizes the story as:
Emma, Norman and Ray are the brightest kids at the Grace Field House orphanage. And under the care of the woman they refer to as “Mom,” all the kids have enjoyed a comfortable life. Good food, clean clothes and the perfect environment to learn—what more could an orphan ask for? One day, though, Emma and Norman uncover the dark truth of the outside world they are forbidden from seeing.
