Up-and-coming actor Kengo Kora (22) has been given the male lead in the "Byakuyakou" movie, which was recently revealed to star Maki Horikita (21). It has also been announced that the movie is being
directed by Yoshihiro Fukagawa.
Based on the Keigo Higashino novel of the same name, "Byakuyakou" revolves around Yukiho (Horikita) and Ryoji (Kora), a young couple who, as children, each end up murdering their single parents. Having grown up to become young adults, they are forced to keep their secret hidden, especially with one of the detectives (Eiichiro Funakoshi) from the original murders still keeping his eye on the case. Willing to go to any extreme to protect Yukiho, including committing rape and murder, Ryoji delves deeper and deeper into darkness.
Filming already started late last month. Theatrical release has been set for early spring 2011.
