Yes, but Yasushu Kawamura, the director, was worried it was going to have too much action.
>Last yearβs βMad Max: Fury Roadβ was a great success. The story is quite simple, the main characters runs away from the enemy and comes back, so it took only 5 minutes to tell the synopsis. However, that led to two hours of great action that was beautifully done. If there are unique action concepts with good contrast, the film could be successful. When Mr. Kawamura saw the film βMad Max: Fury Roadβ he was convinced that βJust action will be fine.β
He also cites "Jaws", "Cube", and "Aliens" for the film's structure.
