Oguri Shun and Miura Haruma will be starring in the anime movie of "Captain Herlock" as voice actors and the film will be shown in cinemas this autumn. The movie which is the first adaptation in 30 years and is based on the manga by Matsumoto Reiji, will feature Oguri as the lead character Captain Herlock while Miura will play his rival Yama who tries to assassinate Herlock. The film will be based on a newly-created side story which does not exist in the original. Other co-stars include Aoi Yui, Furuta Arata and Fukuda Ayano.
The story talks about Herlock being a rebel against the government and becoming a space pirate. Yama is sent by the government to kill Herlock thus he infiltrates into Herlock's organisation and aims to kill the latter after gaining his trust.
The original manga was serialised in Play Comic between 1977 and 1979 and had been made into an anime series in 1978 followed by 3 movies. It had achieved ratings of up to 70% when it was shown in France in 1978.
