On February 24th, V6 member Okada Junichi, actor Tsutsumi Shinichi, and actress Maki Youko attended a private showing of the film "SP Kakumei Hen", where they shared their thoughts on the upcoming movie and revealed that discussions were in the works for an American version of the film.

"SP" is an adaptation of the popular Fuji TV drama of the same name, and tells the story of a four-member squad of police bodyguards. The main character, Inoue Kaoru (played by Okada), is a trained martial artist who has photographic memory and can remember things in an instant. He uses this unique power of his to track down suspects, remember footprints left behind, and gather information in his fight against terrorists. The movie will wrap up the drama series, and opens in theaters on March 12th. "Yesterday, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about how the opening day would go," Okada admitted with an embarassed grin on his face.

Since the film has already received multiple offers to be remade into a major Hollywood movie, it was announced that negotiations with Fuji Television were already in place. "I think it's amazing," replied Okada when asked about the Hollywood offers. "I wonder how it would turn out... Will they change SP (secret police) into 'secret service'? I'm worried about who would be (which characters)." The V6 member also stated that he would like to see any future American remake be headed by the original screenwriter for the movie, Kaneshiro Kazuki.

"It's fine that Hollywood wants to show a movie like this, but... truthfully, a country like America wouldn't give (the original) a try," Tsutsumi commented, but then he smiled and said, "I'm so happy and excited (for it)!"
