Based on the Japanese novel written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. The novel The Girl Who Leapt Through Time has been adapted into various films, mangas, and anime. This live-action version will feature actress Riisa Naka (the voice of Makoto in the 2006 animated film) as Akari, the 18-year-old daughter of the protagonist of the original novel, Kazuko Yoshiyama (played by Narumi Yasuda).
I’m a big fan of the animated film as well as the 80′s film. This updated version seems interesting because it’s following the daughter of the original protagonist (similar to how the animated film dealt with the family connection to time travel).
