Byakuyako’s Official Poster

The upcoming movie, Byakuyako, has revealed its official poster today, with their stars Horikita Maki and Kora Kengo. The slogan reads, “The thing I killed next was my heart”. In the movie, Horikita Maki will play an evil girl who plunges people around her into misfortune just to make herself happy. For these misfortunes, she will receive the help of her childhood friend, played by Kora Kengo.

Some may know of the title since the movie is based on a popular novel written by Higashino Keigo. The book has also been adapted to a stage performance (2005), and drama series (2006) starring Yamada Takayuki and Ayase Haruka.  There also was a movie released last year in Korea which was also an adaptation of the novel, starring Han Suk Kyu and Son Yeh Jin, called White Night.

Byakuyako will be released in theaters on January 29, 2011.
