In February, Kadokawa Pictures announced a movie called “Kitsutsuki to Ame” as part of its 2011-2012 lineup. Details about the project were released, revealing that Yakusho Koji (55) and Oguri Shun (28) will be playing the lead roles. This is their first time
appearing on-screen together.
Directed by Okita Shuichi (“Nankyoku Ryourinin”), the movie is an original comedy that Okita wrote in collaboration with Moriya Fumio. Oguri plays a faint-hearted rookie movie director named Koichi who takes his film crew to a mountain village for a shoot. The villagers wind up getting involved, and in particular, Koichi meets a lumberjack named Katsuhiko (Yakusho) and forces him to help out with the movie.
Other cast members include Kora Kengo, Usuda Asami, Ibu Masato, and Yamazaki Tsutomu.
Filming is expected to finish in late April, with theatrical release planned for later this year.
