Tsumabuki to star in film about pandemic virus
Fri, February 1, 2008 (5:53am EST)

Global fears of a bird flu outbreak seem to have inspired a new film directed by Takahisa Zeze, titled "Kansen Retto." The story centers around the threat of a new virus spreading throughout Japan and the people bravely fighting against it.

Satoshi Tsumabuki will star as a doctor trying to treat the victims of infection, while Rei Dan plays the female lead, a medical officer from the World Health Organization. The film is said to represent a realistic simulation of the national crisis that would be caused by such an outbreak, based on predictions by researchers and medical experts.

TBS's Takashi Hirano is producing. Filming is set to start in early March, with some scenes being shot overseas. Release is targeted for January 2009.

Tsumabuki turns bad in Sang-il Lee's "Akunin"
Thu, November 5, 2009 (2:19am EST)
Satoshi Tsumabuki (28) has landed the starring role in "Akunin," a new film by director Sang-il Lee ("Hula Girls"). The movie is based on a novel by prize-winning author Shuichi Yoshida.

Although Tsumabuki has generally played likable characters in the past, here he has been cast as an antihero. Tsumabuki plays a man named Yuichi, whose dark deeds include killing a woman he meets through a dating website and forcibly taking a woman to a love hotel. However, the story examines the causes behind his character's actions, as well as the painful romance that develops between him and a woman he encounters.

The female lead will be played by Eri Fukatsu (36). She and Tsumabuki previously co-starred in the drama series "Slow Dance."

"Akunin" is scheduled for a fall 2010 release.

Wow, he's pairing up with Eri Fukatsu again...

^ Odd wording: "antihero?"

From the description, it's more like a "villain."

Exactly, AGAIN????? Boy oh boy, I'm not holding my breath. Both are fine, fine actors, but when they're together, they just suck all the fun and romance out of a drama. Like a synergistic black hole of non-chemistry. (Er, SLOW DANCE, anyone? No takers? None at all? Okay, proves my point, lol.)

But, yeah... Yay for Tsumabuki. Yesss, my sweet little sunshine boy, go dark, go deep. Take me to places I've never been (and would not wish to return to). We'll see how you stack up against Yamada Takayuki, yesss? *strokes chin* And as Jdorama characters say, "FIGHTS!" (WTF? I've always wondered why. Lawl.)

I really like both actors but yeah Slow Dance was a bit of a disappointment after I actually saw it. Well who knows...guess everybody deserves a second chance...well, almost everybody.

wow! it sounds interesting, Tsumabuki as a villain . I'd like to see his character here. Oh boy, it looks like he's gonna do quite a lot of bed scenes in the movie did you all notice that in most of his dramas, bed scene is always there

I didn't finish SLOW DANCE, the plot is just , just as slow as the title itself, and I just don't get the chemistry between him and Eri Fukatsu

Satoshi Tsumabuki to play father in NHK Special

Tsumabuki Satoshi will be playing a father for the first time in the upcoming NHK drama SP "Kidnap Tour" which will be shown at 7.30pm on 2 August. The drama SP which is based on the novel by Kakuta Mitsuyo, features Tsumabuki as Takashi who is a penniless man living separately from his wife and daughter. In order to strike a "deal" with his wife Kyoko (Kinami Haruka), he goes on a trip with his daughter Haru (Toyoshima Hana) by "abducting" her. Through this trip, Takashi and Haru discover things they never knew about each other.

When asked about his first attempt at playing a father with a daughter in Primary 5, Tsumabuki commented that he thinks that he will be a father one day but to be able to experience now through this drama is a very amazing thing for him and the feelings a father would feel came rather naturally during the filming. On the other hand, Toyoshima admitted that she was expecting another actor or a comedian to play her father so she was surprised to hear that Tsumabuki was going to be her father in the drama and couldn't imagine him being like Takashi. However, once the filming got underway, she was impressed by how Tsumabuki blended into the role and thought that he did very well.

Co-stars include Kaho, Arai Hirofumi, Muro Tsuyoshi and Yachigusa Kaoru who play the people Takashi and Haru meet during their trip while Mitsushima Hikari plays Takashi's former girlfriend. In response to this, Tsumabuki said that he and Mitsushima have played siblings so many times but he is confident that they will look like a pair of ex-lovers this time.
