A couple of announcements about movie castings have come out recently.
First off Kusanagi Tsuyoshi will have a part in the upcoming Japanese movie Suteki na Kanashibari. It doesn't mention what role he has but as the main cast has been announced it probably won't be big.

Akanishi Jin is set to be in the Hollywood adaption of the 47 Ronin movie that will star Keanu Reeves. Jin will play the role of Oishi Chikara, which is one of the more prominent roles in the story.

I'm happy for Jin, as even if his music career doesn't go anywhere in the U.S. if he can get a good foot into movies he may still find success in the States after all. So I hope he does well and the movie as well as it could lead to bigger things for him.
Omg, Jin to play aside of Keanu Reeves? That´s so awesome !!
ReplyDeleteJin is probably not the best actor but I´m glad he gets the chance to play in a Hollywood movie.
Can´t wait to see it, even if it will take long to be released.
Well Hollywood isn't known for always casting the best actors so I don't think that will be an issue with this movie. ^__-
