Actor/director Shun Oguri (Gokusen, Space Brothers) will be voicing the titular character of the upcoming Space Pirate Captain Harlock (キャプテンハーロック) film. Additionally, actor Haruma Miura (Gokusen, Bloody Monday) will be voicing the film only character, Yama.
Written by Leiji Matsumoto back in 1977-79, it tells the story of the titular Captain Harlock, who rebels against Earth's inept government and fights for humanity with his crew of 40 aboard the invincible space battleship Arcadia. Meanwhile, the movie-only character, Yama, is a young man who infiltrates the Arcadia, attempting to assassinate Captain Harlock.
Additional cast also includes Yū Aoi, Arata Furuta, Ayano Fukuda, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Maaya Sakamoto, Miyuki Sawashiro, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, and Chikao Ohtsuka.
Writer Harutoshi Fukui (Mobile Suit Gundam UC) reconstructed the story to reflect the themes of modern society, and Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) is directing with the latest filmmaking technology. Reported to cost an equivalent of 30 million U.S. dollars, this is the highest production budget ever released by Toei Animation!
Space Pirate Captain Harlock premieres September 7th.
