We have previously reported that there will be a live-action adaptation of the highly acclaimed boxing manga Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow's Joe) by Asao Takamori. But instead of a Jdrama series, it will now be made into a live action movie starring Yamashita Tomohisa as Joe Yabuki.
Actor Teroyuki Kagawa (MR. BRAIN, 20th Century Boys) will play Danpei Tange, a former boxer and trainer, who will becomes Joe's mentor. The rest of the cast have not yet been confirmed.
Fumihiko Sori (ICHI, Ping Pong) will be the one directing the movie. The filming will start in early April and scheduled for 2011 release.
