Yeah, so, we’ve been paying pretty close attention to the details about Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s 20th Century Boys. We see no reason to stop now.
Toho announced yesterday which actress landed the role of the heroine in the upcoming live action version of the manga 20th Century Boys. Kanna, the niece of the protagonist Kenji (Toshiaki Karasawa), will be played by 23-year-old actress Airi Taira.
Although Kanna’s part in the first movie is minor, she plays a critical role in bridging the first two films and in the rest of the trilogy… the character is introduced as an infant in the first film and later takes on a pivotal role as a teenager in the second and third installments in the trilogy… The first installment opens on August 30, and the second is lined up for January 31, 2009.

My thanks to Don Brown at Ryuganji for calling attention to upcoming Yoshitaka Yuriko star vehicle Snakes and Earrings. You may not know Yoshitaka’s name yet, but I guarantee you will soon. She plays a key part in Sion Sono’s Noriko’s Dinner Table and is an absolutely brilliant ball of manic energy in Miki Satoshi’s Adrift in Tokyo. This looks to be Yoshitaka’s first step into a lead role and the material is very strong, the young actress playing a ‘normal’ young woman drawn into the world of tattooing and body modification. The first teaser is available and though it is a touch on the brief side it’s very compelling stuff. You’ll find it below the break in the Twitch Player.
