[News] DIRECTOR Shun!

The latest BIG news! Shun will soon become a verified DIRECTOR! He will be directing his own movie!

here's the article:

Shun Oguri directs a movie [3/6/09]:

Popular actor Shun Oguri (26) is taking on his first directing job. While actors becoming directors is nothing new, this is said to be the first case for a star still in his twenties. The movie's official title is still unknown, but those close to the project are apparently calling it "Surely Someday."

Oguri, who is currently overseas for work, plans to start shooting this summer. Details are sparse, but the film is said to be a story of adolescence that will feature a cast of handsome actors.

Oguri has wanted to try directing for a long time. He was able to get this project rolling with the help of producer Mataichiro Yamamoto, who heads Oguri's management agency Tristone, and his father, stage director Tetsuya Oguri. The actor has already done a little directing, working on the short "manner CM" that played in theaters for "Crows ZERO II."

"Surely Someday" is expected to open in theaters next year.

this is such wonderful news!Shun-kun is really expanding his horizons even further, being an actor, stage performer, seiyu (voice actor) and radio host, and now a verified director also! I'm really happy for him, I have complete faith in his talents, skills and devotion towards his work, he's very passionate with what he does

I hope he invites his close friends Mao-chan and Matsujun in the movie! Or I would love to see the 3 reunited with the rest of the HYD gang, so Abe Tsuyoshi and Matsuda Shota included too! I have a good feeling Jun may be included in the movie, seeing as he and Shun are such close friends like brothers, they're both very supportive of each other, so if Jun has the time, I'm sure he would agree instantlySame with Mao-chan, she's very close to Shun too and is also very supportive of him

Ganbatte Shun!
