Shimura Ken's "God of Movies" new cast announced, to be released on April 16

Shochiku Film Company's 100th anniversary tribute film "The God of Movies" will be released on April 16, 2021. Today, on December 22, the official once again announced the new actors who have joined the team. Let's take a look.

"The God of Movies" is adapted from the novel by Maha Harada. It is a commemorative film for the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Shochiku Film Company. The story tells the miracle brought by the "God of Movies" that an incompetent father who was "ignored" by his family had always believed in when he was young.

The film has a very luxurious production team and cast. It is directed by Yoji Yamada, written by Yoji Yamada and Yuzo Asahara, and stars Ken Shimura, Masaki Suda, Mei Nagano, Nobuko Miyamoto and others.

Due to the sudden death of the lead actor Ken Shimura in the middle of the year and the impact of the new coronavirus pandemic, the film is currently being filmed and is striving to be released as scheduled on April 16. The new cast announced this time includes: RIRI (center) will play the role of film director Hiroshi Izumi; Jun Shison (right) will play the part-time worker Mizukawa; Oshiro Maeda (left) will play Yuta. More detailed information will be released in succession, so stay tuned.
