I couldn't see that anyone else had posted about this, so thought I'd share!
Hadn't heard of this at all, until I was leafing through a local magazine and suddenly saw it in the "upcoming movies section" -
Kaiji: Jinsei gyakuten gêmu Kaiji is being played by Tatsuya Fujiwara, I'm not sure how I feel about this. Even more bizarrely, Ken'ichi Matsuyama is apparently in it too, though it doesn't specify his character.
And coming out this year?
THOUGHTS.
edit: I FAIL. clearly didn't look far back enough, it was posted. still. more discussion?
