Here&#8217;s some ghoulish news. According to Yahoo News below in Japanese, there is a biopic in the works on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/?s=Ichihashi+Tatsuya\">Ichihashi Tatsuya<\/a>, convicted killer of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=lindsay+ann+hawker&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8\">Lindsay Ann Hawker<\/a>, coming out next year based upon his book (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.debito.org\/?p=8455\">which we lambasted here on Debito.org last January as publisher profiteering<\/a>) about his 2 1\/2 years on the lam as a fugitive from justice.<\/p>\n<p>Now, movies about killers are nothing new (including ones with overtones of hero worship; consider <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0110632\/\">NATURAL BORN KILLERS<\/a>), and biopics about Japanese killers (the very good <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0079182\/\">VENGEANCE IS MINE<\/a>, starring a lean and mean Ogata Ken, I saw back in college) are also out there (even though VENGEANCE, although it tries to analyze the killer&#8217;s motivations and mother complex, did not spare the audience of the horrific detail of his murderous activity).<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this movie will do the same (even though many of the details of what Ichihashi did to Hawker&#8217;s corpse have not been made public). \u00a0But the article below says that the contents will focus on his life as a fugitive and offer insights into Japan&#8217;s low life (such as the day-laborer sector of Airin Chiku; cue sympathy for the killer&#8217;s hardships?).<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I for one see this as just more profiteering. \u00a0It looks as though this story will be depicted through Ichihashi&#8217;s eyes, and there is apparently already quite an online hero cult out there for this creep that the studios would love to cash in upon.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this sort of media event has happened before, but this is altogether too soon &#8212; still seems like moviemakers trying to make a fast yen (and an unknown actor trying to make a directorial debut; he talks briefly below about his &#8220;feeling of responsibility&#8221; towards the victims, but mostly about how the killer&#8217;s account fascinates him, so methinks that&#8217;s what the flick will focus upon) before Ichihashi fades from public memory.

some ghoulish news. According to Yahoo News below in Japanese, there is a biopic in the works on Ichihashi Tatsuya, convicted killer of Lindsay Ann Hawker, coming out next year based upon his book (which we lambasted here on Debito.org last January as publisher profiteering) about his 2 1\/2 years on the lam as a fugitive from justice.<\/p>\n<p>Now, movies about killers are nothing new (including ones with overtones of hero worship; consider NATURAL BORN KILLERS), and biopics about Japanese killers (the very good VENGEANCE IS MINE, starring a lean and mean Ogata Ken, I saw back in college) are also out there (even though VENGEANCE, although it tries to analyze the killer&#8217;s motivations and mother complex, did not spare the audience of the horrific detail of his murderous activity). Maybe this movie will do the same (even though many of the details of what Ichihashi did to Hawker&#8217;s corpse have not been made public).  But the article below says that the contents will focus on his life as a fugitive and offer insights into Japan&#8217;s low life (such as the day laborer sector of Airin Chiku; cue sympathy for the killer&#8217;s hardships?). In any case, I for one see this as just more profiteering.  It looks as though this story will be depicted through Ichihashi&#8217;s eyes, and there is apparently already quite an online hero cult out there for this creep that the studios would love to cash in upon.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this sort of media event has happened before, but this is altogether too soon &#8212; still seems like moviemakers trying to make a fast yen (and an unknown actor trying to make a directorial debut; he talks briefly below about his &#8220;feeling of responsibility&#8221; towards the victims, but mostly about how the killer&#8217;s account fascinates him, so methinks that&#8217;s what the flick will focus upon) before Ichihashi fades from public memory.
