The full live-action trailer for the upcoming Ryuhei Kitamura directed
Lupin III (
ルパン三世) has dropped and it looks amazing and fun and I want to see this movie even though it’s not out in Japan until August 30th and who knows when it will hit the states. It’s got a killer cast and a killer director, which should equal a killer film!
The live-action film will star Shun Oguri as Lupin III, Meisa Kuroki as Fujiko Mine, Tetsuji Tamayama as Daisuke Jigen, Go Ayano as Goemon Ishikawa XIII, and Tadanobu Asano as Inspector Koichi Zenigata. It’s directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and it looks like a Ryuhei Kitamura adventure film!
