General Goods

It seems that theren’s a wave of big budget war movies in Japan right now. After Lorelei, Sengoku 1549 and Aegis, here comes Otoko tachi no Yamato. Based on the non fiction books from Jun Henmi, Otoko tachi no Yamato relates the story of a japanese battleship during the second World War. According to twitch the budget for the movie is 14 millions $. Not bad at all. Itw’s directed by Junya Sato and planned for a december 2005 release. And yes the promotional staff are already quite busy. They often show the teaser on one of the three big screens in Shibuya, they already have posters at movie theaters and a shitload of videos up on the official site. A flop for this one would equal the wreckage of the title name battleship. And yes, itg’s the same Yamato as in Space Battleship Yamato, where the battleship in question was made from salvages from the real Yamato. Well according to wikipedia anyway. You have making of videos here and lots of trailers here.

Yamato (男たちの大和, Otoko-tachi no Yamato?, literally The Men 's Yamato ) is a 2005 Japanese war film. It was directed by Junya Sato and is based on a book by Jun Henmi. With a framing story set in the present day, by flashbacks it tells the story of the crew of the World War II Japanese battleship Yamato, concentrating on the ship's demise during Operation Ten-Go.

Filming for Yamato took place from March to June 2005 at a closed-down shipyard of Hitachi Zosen Corporation in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. Approximately JPY 600 million was spent in building a 1:1 scale set of the forward section and the portside anti-aircraft guns. The starboard side, aft section and the barrels of the A turret were not built since the film only required scenes on the port side. However, compliance issues with Japan's Building Standards Act prevented the reproduction of the Yamato's pagoda tower. Instead, photographs of the Yamato Museum's own 1:10 Yamato model was used for post-production.[1] The interior scenes were made on a sound stage, but a hall near the set shows the various rooms and props reproduced for the film.
