Interesting facts

Premonition is a 2004 Japanese horror film directed by Tsuruta Norio. Yogen is based on the manga Kyoufu Shinbun by Jirō Tsunoda, serialized in Shōnen Champion in 1973. The film is about a man who discovers a newspaper that predicts the future.

Production

The film was part of Taka Ichise's announcement from May 14, 2004, where he stated his help in the creation of Entertainment FARM, which was the first Japanese company to provide financial backing for films. The company operated like an investment firm, focusing exclusively on films. Among their first productions, was Takashige Ichise's J-Horror Theater series, which Premonition was part of.

Premonition is based on Jiro Tsunoda's manga The Newspaper of Terror.

Producer Takashige Ichise adapted the basic concept from the manga but developed a new plot for the film. Over the span of two years, Ichise, Tsuruta and Noboru Takagi rewrote and revised the script. Tsunoda initially disliked the script, opining that the film did not represent his manga, but reportedly softened on this view after seeing a completed product.
