Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Before We Vanish (2017)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Production designer Ataka Norifumi deliberately put many diagonal lines and shapes inside the house where Narumi and Shinji lived so it would imply the couple's awkwardness, and took away warmer tones so audiences would feel their low energy.
- In Tochigi Prefecture an abandoned factory served as the survival game field seen at the end of the film, and in late August 2016 a Kirin Beer factory was used as the wasteland.
- Before We Vanish spawned a spin-off, Foreboding, which was released in theaters in Japan on 11 November 2017.
