Doch es bleibt noch eine winzige Chance, durch die Sprengung des Jupiters das schwarze Loch vielleicht doch noch von seinem tödlichen Kurs abzubringen. Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit nimmt seinen Lauf...

Wissenswertes

  • Basiert auf: Sayonara Jupiter

Bye-Bye Jupiter is a 1984 Japanese science fiction film directed by Sakyo Komatsu and Koji Hashimoto and co-produced and written by Komatsu. An early draft of the film's story was novelized by Komatsu two years prior to its release as Sayonara Jupiter, which won the 1983 Seiun Award. Akihiko Hirata made his final film appearance in the film.

Production

Star Wars was released in Japan in 1978, contributing to that country’s science fiction boom. Its contemporaries included two domestically produced films, Toho's The War in Space and Toei’s Message from Space. Prior to production on The War in Space, Toho offered a contract to author Sakyo Komatsu to write a science fiction film. Komatsu had long desired to make a film comparable to 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Simultaneously, Toho registered copyright in the United States. Toho planned a co-production US partners due to an estimated film length of three hours and the involvement of hundreds of foreign cast members.

In 1980, a novel based on the first screenplay was serialized in “The Weekly Sankei” and published in two volumes in 1982. The shooting script was completed in March 1983. Original director Shiro Moritani, who had previously worked on the Komatsu project Japan Sinks, died in December 1984. He was replaced by assistant director Koji Hashimoto.
