Oguri Shun and Kuroki Meisa greeted over 4000 fans and press at the premiere of their highly anticipated film Lupin III. The film, directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, is a live action adaption of the iconic manga.

The plot centers around how the series’ main characters meet for the first time. The film also serves as a huge update to the Lupin franchise in general, for the first time the story will take place in a contemporary setting.  The decision to do this was all on Ryuhei Kitamura. Before filming began he stated

There’s no meaning to a live-action film adaptation if you make the setting the same. I intend to change the characters themselves to make them modern. It would be nonsense for Goemon to exist in current society wearing samurai’s garb and carrying around a katana.
