The Promised Neverland Movie

The Promised Neverland is an upcoming live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name which was created by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu. The film is directed by Yūichirō Hirakawa, who is also known for directing films such as the critically acclaimed live-action film ERASED and the live-action Rookie film series. The script is penned by ERASED's scriptwriter Noriko Gotou. The film stars Minami Hamabe as Emma, Rihito Itagaki as Norman and Jyo Kairi as Ray. The Promised Neverland is scheduled to be released in winter of 2020.

Plot
Currently, the plot of the film remains unknown, but is most likely adapting the Introduction Arc and the Jailbreak Arc, Chapter 1 to Chapter 37 of the manga, as implied via the still shots of the movie, which are re-enacted scenes of certain panels found in the manga. One known change the film is going to have from the manga is how the maximum age for a Grace Field House orphan to leave the orphanage is changed from 12 to 16. This change is most likely necessary so as to better fit the ages of Emma's, Norman's and Ray's actors, who are 19, 17 and 13 respectively.

Release
The Promised Neverland is scheduled to be released in winter of 2020, with the announcement of the movie, cast and shots made available to the public on 26 September 2019. The official poster and website of the movie are made available so as to market the movie.
