Exciting news! Lens Entertainment and FANGORIA Studios are partnering to produce films by the legendary horror manga artist, Junji Ito. The first three mangas that will be co-developed are Bloodsucking Darkness and The Mystery of the Haunted House Part 1 and Part 2.
Through the Lens Entertainment’s partnership with FANGORIA is poised to redefine the horror and manga experience, offering fans an immersive journey into the macabre through motion pictures.
Owner and Filmmaker of Through The Lens Entertainment Aditya Chand said:
“Through the Lens Entertainment are thrilled to be working alongside FANGORIA and the legendary Junji Ito on these new films. Having been born in Kobe, Japan, my love for manga and anime runs deep and has a huge significance for me during my upbringing. Working with a visionary manga creator like Junji, alongside a cornerstone platform of horror culture with FANGORIA, pushes the boundaries of what east-west collaboration can achieve in the modern age. Manga adaptation must be adapted in a culturally sensitive way, where there is a balance of Japanese nuance combined with the sensibilities of innovative horror, allowing for a new cinematic experience for enthusiasts and manga fans.”
Armen Aghaeian, SVP of FANGORIA Studios said:
“It’s important to recognize the universal appeal of horror stories; there’s no better way to commence our partnership with Through the Lens Entertainment than with the legendary horror author and artist Junji Ito’s stories. After all, everyone screams in the same language.”
