Osawa Takao & Matsushima Nanako in movie "Wara no Tate"

Osawa Takao and Matsushima Nanako will be starring in the movie "Wara no Tate" (Straw Shield) directed by Miike Takashi. The movie is based on the novel by Kiuchi Kazuhiro and due to be shown in cinemas during Golden Week next year. Filming begins on 19 August.

Osawa and Matsushima had worked together previously in the 2007 movie "Bizan" where they played lovers. This time round, they will play colleagues in the security police (SP) department tasked to escort a criminal from Fukuoka to Tokyo. In the novel, Osawa's partner is a man but the producer decided to change it to a woman.

Story: Kiyomaru Kunihide (Fujiwara Tatsuya), a former inmate convicted of rape and murder, kills the grand-daughter of a big-name politician soon after he's released from prison and disappears before the police can catch him. 3 months later, an advertisement offering JPY 1 billion for Kiyomaru's murder appears in a newspaper. Fearing for his life, Kiyomaru surrenders himself to the Fukuoka Prefectural Police. Mekari Kazuki (Osawa Takao) and Shiroiwa Atsuko (Matsushima Nanako) are two of the five SPs tasked to escort Kiyomaru back to Tokyo before anyone can lay their hands on him.
