3D Live-Action Kaibutsu-kun Movie Announced

30-year-old Arashi band member Satoshi Ohno will reprise his starring role as Kaibutsu-kun, the prince of Monster Land, in a 3D live-action Kaibutsu-kun motion picture directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura. Ohno played Kaibutsu-kun in the franchise’s live-action television series last year. The adaptation is based on Fujiko Fujio A’s 1965 manga series. The movie has a “monstrous” two billion yen (*$24 million USD) budget and began shooting last week for a Christmas release.
