The filming began on 19 August 2012,[4] and took place in Japan, primarily in Aichi and Mie Prefectures, and Taiwan.[5] After the Shinkansen denied filming onboard its rolling stock, the train scenes were shot at the Taiwan High Speed Rail in September that year, with the support of the Taipei Film Commission.[5]

Remake

On 24 October 2016, it was announced that EuropaCorp is planning an English-language remake to be penned by Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt and produced by Depth of Field's Chris Weitz, Andrew Miano and Dan Balgoyen and All Nippon Entertainment Works's Sandy Climan and Annmarie Bailey, and Nippon Television's Naoaki Kitajima.[6][7][8]
