Sometime before Christmas, the official website for Osamu Katayama’s Gaku was updated with a teaser trailer.
Based on Shinichi Ishizuka’s ongoing manga serial “Gaku: Minna no Yama”, the film stars Shun Oguri as an experienced mountain climber and rescue team volunteer named Sanpo Shimazaki. One spring, newcomer Kumi Shiina (Masami Nagasawa) is assigned to the Nagano prefecture mountain rescue team where she experiences grows thanks to Sanpo’s guidance, but loses confidence when she’s unable to rescue a victim in a real-life situation.
One day, multiple accidents occur simultaneously due to a mountain blizzard, and Kumi is forced into action with a colleague.
“Gaku” will be released by Toho in Japan on May 7, 2011.

Back in January, the magazine Big Comic Original revealed that Shinichi Ishizuka's mountain-climbing manga "Gaku: Minna no Yama" would be turned into a live-action film to be released sometime in 2011. No further details had been available until earlier today, when Toho officially announced the project to the media.

Actor Shun Oguri (Crows Zero) will play a mountain rescue team volunteer named Sanpo and Masami Nagasawa (Magare! Spoon) will co-star as a new team member named Kumi. The film's budget is said to be around 1 billion yen (~$10 million Usd).
Although shooting began only a few days ago, Oguri began training under a professional mountain guide way back in December -- in part, to overcome his fear of heights. Nagasawa, who had to sacrifice 12 inches of length from her hair for the role,...
