Teaser and Release Date for the Live-Action Movie “Trillion Game” Unveiled

A teaser for the impending live-action movie based on the manga of the same name was just released on the official Japanese ‘Trillion Game’ YouTube channel. The teaser also revealed that the movie’s release date is February 14, 2025.

Ren Meguro and Hayato Sano, who played protagonists Haru Tennouji and Manabu Taira in the original 2023 television drama series, will reprise their roles in the film. Riko Fukumoto as Rinrin Takahashi, Koji Kikkawa as Kazuki Kedouin, and Mio Imada as Kirika Kokuryu are among the other cast members who will be making a comeback from the television drama series.

This does not imply that the movie will carry on the original live-action series’ plot. The movie intends to portray a largely independent story, even though it might allude to the original scenario. The Trillion Game Company, the company of the main characters, plans to investigate the possibility of constructing Japan’s first casino resort. For the largest firms in Japan, this could seem like a simple assignment, but in order to keep their standing, the ensemble of characters will need to conquer certain obstacles.

To ensure that the movie stays true to the original manga, Riichiro Inagaki, the author of the original manga, will be involved in the production process. In 2020, he first published the manga, which had drawings by Ryoichi Ikegami. In addition, an anime series is now in development. It is scheduled for release in October 2024, and it will most likely be accessible on Crunchyroll.

This is how they describe the series. “Old schoolmates Haru and Gaku will do anything to achieve success. And success to them means earning a trillion dollars! But to do so, they’ll need to take full advantage of their own unique skills. Haru is a persuasive and confident speaker who can connect with anyone, while Gaku, although awkward, is an expert programmer. Will their combined talents be enough to make their dream a reality?”
