Full trailer and additional cast have been released for the live-action film adaptation of the popular manga Kamisama no Iutoori (As the God’s Will) written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro with art by Akeji Fujimura. Directed by Takashi Miike, the film stars Sota Fukushi alongside Hirona Yamazaki and Ryunosuke Kamiki.
A 2nd-year high school student named Shun Takahata (Fukushi) lives an ordinary teenage life until one day a malevolent Daruma doll appears in front of his class and forces the students to participate in a series of children’s games such as “Daruma-san ga Koronda” with death as the penalty for losing. With no knowledge of who’s behind the games, he’s left with no other choice but to keep winning as his only means of protecting himself and his childhood friend, Ichika (Yamazaki). Meanwhile, a troubled classmate named Takeru (Kamiki) seems to actually be relishing the opportunity to get other students killed.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” from QUEEN, a British Rock Band was chosen as the image song. Movie opens November 15.
The rest of the cast include Mio Yuki, Shota Sometani, Nao Omori and Lily Franky.
