Production
In early 2014, Nickson Fong and Eko Nonoyama began developing the screenplay, with Eko's original Japanese screenplay being completed in 2017. Later in 2017, Los Angeles filmmaker Todd Ocvirk created an adapted version of the screenplay in english.[4] On the 2018 production set, producer Steve Krone said, "It's not a gory of violent horror film. I would describe it as more of a sort of supernatural kind of ghost story kind of horror film."[3]
Principal photography began in Buffalo, New York in July 2018, and was initially scheduled to be released in 2019, which it did not. Some of the locations include WNED-TV studio, Statler City, Aurora, Little Rock City and Shinshiro,[4] Japan.[3]
Release
It was released at the Cine-Excess 2021.[5]
Reception
On Dread Central, Sharai Bohannon rated it 3/5 stars writing in the review summary that "this movie is probably a good time for people who are into live-action films, anime, and musicals. The story is a little hard to follow, and it does at times feel like more of a showcase for visual effects than a movie."[6]
Soundtrack
On November 6, 2021, the main theme song for Bashira was released on their official YouTube channel. The track titled "Can You Hear Me?" a music by Fumitake Igarashi & David Sisko performed by Katharine L. Feeley and Mark Matters.[7]
