Gokusen the movie

[karened]

From here.

With "Gokusen: The Movie" less than a couple months away, a new announcement has revealed that six more actors from the drama's earlier seasons will be returning, including Shun Oguri and Mocomichi Hayami.
 

The movie is already known to focus on the cast of the show's third season, which aired in 2008. It was previously announced that Yuya Takaki, Haruma Miura, and Yuta Tamamori are part of the main cast. At the end of last month, it was also revealed that the second season's Kazuya Kamenashi was added to the cast.

Now, the number of returning alumni has again increased, adding three students each from the drama's first two seasons. Oguri will represent the first season, along with Yuma Ishigaki and Hiroki Narimiya. From the second season, Hayami will be joined by Teppei Koike and Keisuke Koide.

Although all six played delinquent students in their respective seasons, they have grown up to become respectable members of society. Together with Kamenashi's character, who has become a teacher in training, these graduates will lend their support to the beloved teacher "Yankumi," played by starring actress Yukie Nakama. This movie is said to be Nakama's last time to take on this role.

Filming for the movie finished on May 13. The picture opens in theaters on July 11.

 

 

Oguri and Hiroki Narimiya! Mocomich and Teppei and Keisuke! I can die die die! So happy! But it's odd to have Kame back as teacher in training...this is a role I would expect to be for Jun...no offense, but really...he has what it takes to be a teacher. Brains to teach and to deal with delinquents and the heart to do so. Plus, he's like the main guy from the whole gokusen story! Why isn't he back??? I'm so disappointed! Well, at least they brought back a few of the oldies. XP

Omg, I just watched the trailer over at Tenjostyle's side. It looks good! Would have been perfect if it was Shin back as teacher in training...lol they even brought back the police officer from season 1...why not shin?? =( Or maybe the police can at least bring an explanation as to how they 'resolved' the love rectangle back then....and why does Kame look so awkward in front of the class? Maybe he's reminscing about his past as a student like those in front of him? 

I feel kind of sad with gokusen officially ending...this was the drama that really affected me and got me thinking, "ah..teachers should be like that. I shouldn't be spending my junior college life like this...I should change a bit..."
