Live-action movie of "Pink & Grey"

[massu74.livejournal.com]

Hellos! It was announced on Johnny's Net today that Shige's first novel, "Pink and Grey", will be made into a live-action movie :D

I went to read up a little and found the following information:

Director - Yukisada Isao ("Crying Out Love, In the Centre of the World", "Go!")
Scriptwriter - Horai Ryuta
Starring - Nakajima Yuto
Other cast members announced so far - Suda Masaki, Kaho, Kishii Yukino, Yagira Yuya

Shige's comment:
"When I first started writing it five years ago, I didn't even dream that it will be turned into a live-action movie. I often watch the director's works as I like them very much, so I'm very honoured to have him representing my view of the world, and am looking forward to it from the bottom of my heart. There aren't that many chances to have a junior playing a character that's projected from myself, but if it's going to be Nakajima-kun, I'm sure he'll be able to do it."

Filming is expected to begin mid-January and the movie is slated for a 2016 release.
Looks like 2015's off a great start! :D
