Iseya's role is "Yuki", the lieutenant colonel who takes the command of the organization, while Fukada plays as a mysterious woman called "Rin", the U.S. Ambassador's mistress.

Kamenashi commented, "I have read the original novel before, and was wishing to be a part of it if it ever got a live-action adaptation, so I was very happy." Apparently, the filming will be held not only in Japan, but also in overseas like Singapore and Indonesia, and regarding the filming, Kamenashi said, "As this will be my first time to film in overseas, and to attend the action scenes with people from overseas, I am really looking forward to it."

The film is directed by Irie Yu ("SR Saitama no Rapper" series), and it is set for release sometime in 2015.
