The upcoming project stars Hidetoshi Nishijima (Drive My Car) and Tomoya Nakamura (Lost and Found) as Kotaro Minami/Kamen Rider Black Sun and Nobuhiko Akizuki/Kamen Rider Shadowmoon respectively. Just like in the original TV series, both Kotaro and Nobuhiko were born during a solar eclipse at the same day and the same time, making them candidates to become the Creation King, the pinnacle of monsters. Unlike the original TV series in which they are adopted brothers, the two are now just close friends. The two are remodeled to become Kamen Riders.
A reboot of the classic Kamen Rider Black TV series, the film will be directed by Kazuya Shiraishi (Kyoaku, The Blood of Wolves) with scripts written by Izumi Takahashi (live-action Tokyo Revengers film), concept visuals by Shinji Higuchi (Heisei Gamera Trilogy, Shin Godzilla) and Kiyotaka Taguchi (Ultraman Z) as special effects director. Kamen Rider Black Sun is set for an October 28th release, streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
