Actor Satomi Ishihara appeared at the premiere event and stage greeting for the film "The Last Mile" (directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, released on August 23) held in Tokyo on August 20.
The film is directed by Tsukahara and written by Akiko Nogi, and is a non-stop suspense story set in a "shared universe" that intersects with the world lines of the TV dramas "Unnatural" (2018) and "MIU404" (2020).
Ishihara, who played Misumi Mikoto in "Unnatural," said she found out about the film's production through an email from Ayano Go, who starred in "MIU404." She recalled, "I got an email from Ayano saying, 'You played Mikoto!' I immediately asked my manager about it, and he gave me the script. I was so happy that I burst out laughing."
He said that filming the movie was "like a class reunion," and that although it only took one day, "the UDI lab set was perfectly recreated down to the last detail, and I felt the passion and enthusiasm, and I almost cried."
