The upcoming "ROOKIES" movie, a continuation of the TBS live-action series from this past spring, will feature a couple new cast members as part of the Nikogawa baseball team. "Ikemen" actors Yusuke Yamamoto and Takuya Ishida have been confirmed as the team's new recruits. Yamamoto has been cast as a talented player aiming for the Major League, while Ishida plays a gutless beginner.

Of course, the drama's main cast is returning, led by Ryuta Sato, Hayato Ichihara, Keisuke Koide, Yu Shirota, and Sousuke Takaoka.

The movie opens in theaters next May.
