Koji Seto Stars in Live-Action Judge Movie


The main cast for the live-action movie adaptation of the psychological suspense manga Judge in the September issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine.

Koji Seto (Kamen Rider Kiva, Sadako 3D) stars in the movie as the wolf, Kasumi Arimura (live-action Hagane no Onna, Clover) as the lion, and Jiro Sato (Densha Otoko, Hero Yoshihiko) will play the fox.

Other cast members include: Kazuyoshi Taira as the bear, Fukino Kawate as the pig, Sōtarō Tanaka (Kibō no Koku) as the dog, and Yūko Nishimaru (Salaryman Kintaro) as the rabbit.

The story of the original manga features nine young strangers wake up and find themselves wearing animal masks in a shuttered old courtroom. They are accused of sins, and must judge and sacrifice each other one by one, until four are left alive. They must all play the game, or they will all die.

Directed by Yō Kohatsu (Waya!, Seichi e, Chokujou se yo!) with scripts by Kawate and Kohatsu, the movie is set to premiere this November 8.
