As revealed by Comic Natalie, Ito has created a short manga adaptation of the film to be distributed in Japanese theaters when The Lighthouse releases there next month, on July 21.
Legendary manga artist Junji Ito’s work is known the world over, and his latest foray into the world of manga will be adapting Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse.
Set in the 1800s, The Lighthouse tells the story of two lighthouse keepers who slowly descend into madness while trapped with each other in isolation.
Ito himself was said to be a huge fan of the film, likely factoring into his decision to adapt the film in manga form.
