The screenplay for Nihon chinbotsu was written by Masato Katô, based on the science-fiction books Nippon chinbotsu (ue) and Nippon chinbotsu (shita) by Sakyô Komatsu. (Shirô Moritani's 1973 classic Submersion of Japan (Nippon chinbotsu) was likewise based on those books.) The movie's principal cast is as follows (listed order corresponds to website order): Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Kou Shibasaki (a.k.a. Kô Shibasaki), Mitsuhiro Oikawa, Mayuko Fukuda, Hideko Yoshida, Akira Emoto, Jun Kunimura, Kôji Ishizaka, Etsushi Toyokawa, and Mao Daichi.
