First Live-Action Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) Movie Footage


The first video footage for the upcoming live-action Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji) movie premiered in the ZIP! talk show recently. The movie takes place 150 years after the end of of the original manga/anime series.


Shiori Genpou (played by Ayame Gouriki) is a descendant of the prestigious aristocratic family Phantomhive. Since only males can take the reins of the family, Shiori dons male clothes and the name Kiyoharu to lead the massive Phantom Corporation. Just like her ancestors, she is served by her demon butler named Sebastian Michaellis (played by Hiro Mizushima).

The movie will be directed by Kentaro Otani (Nana) and Keiichi Sato (Tiger & Bunny) and is set to premiere in January 14, 2014.
