Norwegian Wood Teaser Trailer

18Jul10

The first teaser for the upcoming adaptation of Murakami’s Norwegian Wood, due for release in Japan this winter has slipped onto the internet. It’s a true teaser, as the clip is frustratingly short and doesn’t offer fans much to pore over. Brief character shots, an atmospheric landscape, some wistful dialogue and the sound of John Lennon’s voice are about all we get. But hey, that’s how the novel works, so it’s hitting all the right notes.

I have a feeling that the brief nature of this clip is due to the filmmakers obtaining the rights for The Beatles titular song. With the music in their possession, they could now share footage of the film with the world.

Japanese audiences will get the film in December, while international fans will have to wait a little longer.
