Okada Junichi, Abe Hiroshi and Ono Machiko to Star Together in A New Movie
I just find some recent news articles about Okada's new movie Everest : Kamigami no Itadaki set to release in 2016.
http://everest-movie.jp/
It's a movie adaption of a novel (?) of the same title and tells the story of a mountain photographer who finds an old recording/camera that supposedly belonged to George Mallory who went missing when climbing Everest back in 1924. He then goes on a mountain climbing adventure with his friend.
Okada plays the mountain photographer Fukamichi Makoto and Abe Hiroshi plays his friend, a lone genius climber named Habu Joji. Additional cast is Ono Machiko who plays a woman named Ryoko. Filming will begin at March at Nepal.
While it's a nice news and all and I feel happy for Okada for being casted as a 'normal' person (lol), I'm slightly worried about his activities in V6, even more because this year is their 20th anniversary. I was hoping Library Wars : The Last Mission is his only other work outside V6 this year. From what I can understand he really likes the original novel and is eager to challenge Everest. That guy is in his elements here, lol... mountain climbing and photography.
Well, I'm still worried though, but as Ken once said, if it's Okada he can work things out somehow...
