Wissenswertes

  • Basiert auf: Crossfire

Pyrokinesis, also known as Crossfire , is a 2000 Japanese science fiction thriller film co-written and directed by Shusuke Kaneko. The film is about a woman with pyrokinetic powers seeking to avenge the murder of her friend's sister. It was based on two novels by Miyuki Miyabe: Crossfire and Hatobuki Grass.

Production

Pyrokinesis was based on two novels by Miyuki Miyabe: the anthology novel Hatobuki Grass (鳩笛草, Hatobuesō; specifically the novella "Burnt Offering") and Crossfire. The screenplay also incorporated original story material.

Kaneko made Pyrokinesis in-between two of his kaiju films: Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. According to producer Hideyuki Honma, the production of this film was pushed up due to the sudden cancellation of a planned sequel to Saimin.

This was Akiko Yada's first starring role, as well as Masami Nagasawa's debut. A few cast members of Kaneko's Gamera trilogy had cameos in this film, such as Ayako Fujitani and Yukijirō Hotaru.

The film's theme song, "The One Thing", was composed and performed by the Japanese band Every Little Thing. A single mix was included as the B-side to their song "Rescue Me/Smile Again".

For the climactic sequence in which the amusement park bursts into flames, a 1⁄5-scale miniature of the park was blown up in the studio.
