Bible Black: Promo shots

Jackie Cerniglia, photographer on Bible Black: The Movie, has promo shots posted on her Facebook page. Although they were taken a while back (2010 I think), they reveal pretty much what most skeptical Bible Black fans dreaded: a cheap and typical porno version of Bible Black.

The costumes look like Cosplay - complete with ugly wigs - and actresses look like your average pornstars; shaved, tattooed, with fake tits, and nowhere near the character's intended age. Minase in particular looks like an old Brittish dude and not someone who's in High School or College.

The pictures speak for themselves, but the ones I've used here are actually the better looking pics. The sets look cheap, and the costumes, particularly the robes, look like they were shopped at some Halloween store. They don't even look like the ones from Bible Black and are so short they don't even go down to their feet. They also changed the Star of David to a stereotypical up-side-down pentagram on the book and the ritual drawing.

While I was intrigued by the original poster, my interest in the movie has definitely dropped in light of this new exposed material. It's too bad because the other movies by Fever Dreams looked more professional, stylish, and even had Japanese actresses appearing in some of them.

One can hope that the movie has been improved since 2010, and that some actors have lost interest or been replaced. But since all of them look terrible anyway it won't change much (and they don't look like the kind of actors who's got something better to work on).

And some characters, like Shiraki, look more like the actress would be more suitable playing Saeki. It looks like they're not even getting the characters personalities right. I bet the producers of this only watched the dubbed Anime and are basing the whole thing on that. They've probably not even touched the fantastic game.

I will still keep following this though, as there's no other Bible Black product in the works. But it will be with less enthusiasm than before.
