On Feb 11, 2012 will be the theatrical release of a dramatic movie about the Hayabusa mission. It looks like an expensive production: they built a copy of the main JAXA control room for the film.
Here is the web site: http://www.hayabusa2012.jp/index.html You can watch some trailers there. Watch the one marked 'ver 2' in particular. It's all in Japanese, but hopefully there will be an eventual DVD release with subtitles. |

Pertinax, if you are watching it on BluRay, and it is called simply 'はやぶさ ', then it is most likely the version released last year, that just recently came out on BR. Directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi.
If Pandaneko saw it recently in a theater, that is probably the latest one, "はやぶさ 遥かなる帰還" starring Ken Watanabe as Kawaguchi and directed by Tomoyuki Takimoto. As far as I know, that one is not yet available on disk. That is the one I am waiting for. JAXA cooperated with both productions I think. |

As far as I know, that one is not yet available on disk. That is the one I am waiting for. JAXA cooperated with both productions I think. That is right. The one I saw was with Ken Watanabe as Prof Kawaguchi. Very interstingly, I now hardly remember its technical scenes and details. The advance ad in my area was that V something F? filming technology was used to enhance its visual presentations. However, I hardly remember what they were like. My guess is that I had seen all those things on the Net and they in the end did not leave much impression on me, I think... For the first time viewers the whole thing may appear different. I was most impressed by the human side of the story. By the way, JAXA is apparently now inviting private donations (minimum unit is 1,000 JPY, about 10 US dollars) for a lot of their projects, according to the Yomiuri newspaper here (reported today, 4 April 2012). I might upload my translation soon, because that is exactly what I have been thinking about. I think it is good because it will make me feel I am closely involved! Pandaneko |
