Kobayashi Kiyoshi, first generation "Bem"
Compared to the previous works the atmosphere is completely different and it's odd. Seems, I'm overwhelmed. It's like at a dream of a world that is centuries ahead. This is an honest opinion.
It is a magnificent movie. It was beyond my imagination. Please watch it. You can get addicted. It has been evolving for 50 years!
Inoue Kazuhiko, second generation "Bem"
[Impressions on watching the movie]
When I first saw it, I was wondering if everything was completely renewed and how Bem would start.
The further the story went, the more mysteries were revealed, culminating in a magnificent ending. It was like watching a Hollywood movie.
[Thoughts about Bem's role]
I was a person who grew up watching Kobayashi Kiyoshi's "Bem", so I was really excited just to get ano audition, "What? Play Bem?"
(On the audition) I was playing an extremely hard scene and was sure I wouldn't get the part... On ep. 1 and 2 I pulled out everything I've got (laugh)! But over time, I started to play Bem more and more naturally, so I felt lonely by the end and didn't want it to be over.
[Why Bem is still loved?]
At first glance, he is an ugly youkai, but when you look at him closer, you see how beautiful his heart is, and on the contrary, he makes beautiful people look ugly.
. Rather than saying, "I want him to become a human quickly", I think it is better for him to stay youkai.
Bem, Bela, and Balo's feelings are so pure, that this is movie that you may want to watch when you are feeling down.
[Message to Bem's fans]
"Bem" fans, a great movie is coming. The film starts out so unimaginable that you can't even begin to imagine what it would be like for you. We would like you to fully enjoy it at the cinema.

"Humanoid Monster Bem" debuted in 1968 on TV, and left an overwhelming impact with its dark, mysterious world and unique characters.

The animation of the new film, "BEM: Become Human", will be handled by Production I.G, which has been a part of the "BEM" project from the beginning, and have worked on high-quality animation such as "Ghost in the Shell" and "Psycho-Pass" series.
The production staff are: director Hiroshi Ikehata ("Magical Circle Guru Guru", "Space Battleship Tiramisu"), scriptwriter Tomioka Atsuhiro ("Pokémon", "One Piece: Stampede"), character settings Murata Renji ("Last Exile", "ID-0"), and character designer Matsumoto Mino ("Maria the Virgin Witch", "Attack on Titan: Junior High").
And the main cast members are the same as in the TV anime: Konishi Katsuyuki as Bem, M・A・O as Bela, and Ono Kensho as Belo. Additional cast members will be announced in the future.
Along with the announcement, a teaser poster and teaser of the film were released. The black and red teaser poster has the words "I want to become human." with a character that appears to be Bem hiding his face and a dark shadow cast from his feet, representing the agony of the humanoid monster.
The teaser starts off with the words, "No one knows when it was born..." with "Preludes No.4" by Chopin and red cells pulsating in the background, depicting how the 3 humanoid monsters, "Bem, Bela, and Belo" were born. It ends with the sorrowful whisper saying, "I want to become human".
They acted more human, saved more humans, wanted to be human, more than anyone else... 50 years later, the answer they've reached will finally be revealed in the film.
"BEM: Become Human" is scheduled to premiere in autumn 2020.

About the poster collaboration visual
I'm so thrilled to see the illustrations on the live-action posters you've drawn!
Lovely illustrations, I'm glad you did! Thank you.
About the notice.
I'm happy to say that this trailer is full of developments that will attract people to watch it, as it depicts a turnaround from the happiness of not knowing anything but despair in a world full of lies.
I hope that you will come to see the film to find out how they find a ray of light in a world of despair and how they open up.
About the Theme Song
"I wish midnight lasted forever" I've been listening to the songs because I love his worldview, so it was reassuring to hear him do the theme song for "The Promised Neverland".
The theme song, "I Can't Get It Right," is Emma and her friends fighting against the environment itself. When I first heard it, I thought I had a clear picture of the world of the live-action Neverland movie I was promised.
I can't wait to see the movie that will be completed when the theme song is played at the end of the film. Thank you for the wonderful music.
