Shinji Higuchi has had a long, varied career with no shortage of epics sprinkled throughout. From handling special effects for the Heisei era Gamera series to directing his own massive hits like Lorelei and Japan Sinks, it’s usually safe to assume anything he’s involved in will be done pretty big. That’s why, when a mysterious website went up late last week for his next film, tentatively titled “XX9”, people took notice.
Not very much at all is known about XX9 yet, but a promotional photo has been released as well as this very vague description:
“The tale of a group of saviors selflessly confronting an unprecedented emergency brought on by a mysterious living entity.”
XX9 cast
Though the cast has yet to be announced officially, some can be identified from the photo. So far I think I spot Yutaka Matsushige at the top, Sarutoki Minagawa on the bottom right, Yasuhi Nakamura on the bottom left, and possibly Issei Takahashi on the upper left. The actress in front looks quite a bit like Hiroko Shimabukuro at that angle, but I wouldn’t be willing to bet money on it. Hopefully the veil of secrecy will be lifted within the next week or two as further details trickle out.
