A live-action movie for the "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" franchise has been announced for 2008. The film, which is being directed by Ataru Oikawa, begins shooting on the 14th.

"Higurashi" started out as a series of visual novels, but has so far been adapted to manga, anime, and other media. The film is said to be initially opening on a single screen, with the hope that its popularity will spread by word of mouth, much like the original games.

The cast includes Gouki Maeda, Rin Asuka, and Airi Matsuyama.
