On Thursday it was announced that a movie version of the Ntv drama Yokai Ningen Bem is in the works, tentatively titled Eiga Yokai Ningen Bem.
The original 10-episode drama aired from October - December 2011 and was itself a live-action adaptation of a 1968 animated children’s series. The movie version will bring back the same lead cast: child actor Fuku Suzuki as Belo, fashion model Anne as Bela, and Kat-tun’s Kazuya Kamenashi as Bem.
The new movie will feature a completely original script and will take advantage of the format by making more liberal use of things like special effects makeup, CG effects, and wire stunts than the drama.
The trio will once again play three yokai (monsters) who are feared for their hideous natural appearance, but nevertheless fight against evil for the sake of humanity while desperately wishing to become human themselves someday.
