"Yamikin Ushijima-kun" to be released as a movie starring Yamada Takayuki

allkpop



On August 3rd, it was revealed that the fall 2010 TBS drama, �Yamikin Ushijima-kun� will be released as a movie starring actor Yamada Takayuki (27).

This upcoming movie is scheduled to be released next year and will be directed by Yamaguchi Masatoshi. This movie is based on a manga by Manabe Shouhei of the same name which began its serialization with the weekly manga magazine, �Big Comic Spirits� back in 2004. The story focuses on Ushijima (Yamada), the head of the loan shark company, and the black market scene which very much exists today.

This drama, which was based on the ongoing popular manga that sold 4 million copies, had grabbed the attention of many fans because of Yamada�s fierce look and goatee.

In contrary to the drama, the movie will focus on Ushijima being swindled by a man he tried to give a burden of debt to. In addition, it is said that this movie will follow the manga�s plot more closely than the previous drama and there will also be a sexy scene featuring a yet to be named AV actress as well.

During the filming of this drama, Yamada said, �I'm worried that director Yamamoto is trying to make �Ushijima-kun� be similar to that of �Tora-san� (a hit popular TV/movie series throughout the 70�s, 80�s, and 90�s), where they will transform the series over and over again.� However, he is surely looking forward to the completion of this series.
