Toei announced GOZEN, a jidaigeki drama, which is described as "Act 1" and will be both a movie and a theatrical performance.
The word "gozen" refers to a feudal game held in presence of a Daimyo and it is described as a match "one must not lose". The two projects of Act 1 have their own cast and stories, but are still interconnected. Filming for the movie has been completed, the stage play on the other hand is being developed alongside a professional historical group and Toei's Kyoto Studios.
The movie project, GOZEN: The Sword of Pure Romance will star Atsuhiro Inukai (Kamen Rider Build). Also part of the film's cast are: Kohei Takeda (Kamen Rider Kiva), Hiroshi Yazaki (Ultra Zone), Seiya Motoki (Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs. Keisatsu Sentai Patranger), Taira Imata (Kamen Rider Drive), Takahisa Maeyama (Kamen Rider Wizard), Yuki Izawa (Sengoku Basara: Moonlight Party), and Hiroya Matsumoto (Mahou Sentai Magiranger).
GOZEN: The Sword of Pure Romance is directed by veteran Kamen Rider director Hidenori Ishida (Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace) and written by Keiko Utsumi. The stage play portion of the project titled, GOZEN: Sword Frenzy will be written and directed by Nobuhiro Mori (Uchu Sentai Kyuranger). The stage play cast will be revealed in a later date.
Both movie and stage projects are produced by Hideaki Tsukada (Kamen Rider W) and Takahito Omori (Kamen Rider Build) and are both set to be released later this year.
