As a personal fan of the “Liar Game” dorama it makes me really happy to tell you that Fuji TV today announced a movie and a 2nd season!!
On the 23rd, Fuji TV is going to open the mobile site “Liar Game Project” (LGP) that offers an email magazine and an original game that you can play for free.
The original comic of “Liar Game” was created by mangaka Kaitani Shinobu. In 2007 Fuji TV then turned it into a unique dorama in their 11pm “Saturday Dorama” timeslot. It was about a large sum of money, packed with all kind of games and incredible psychological warfare. Now they are going to continue this thrilling story on a large scale, including a movie, a 2nd season and that mobile site mentioned above. There is still no date for either the movie or the dorama, but Fuji TV plans to announce it sometime this summer.
What’s more important is that the two main characters will continue to be played by actress Toda Erika (20) and Matsuda Shota (23). Toda plays a soft-hearted female college student that originally got involved into the whole game mechanism without any reason and Matsuda a very talented swindler who somehow started to help her through the game. The games themselves won’t be a copy from the first season, of course. They say that there will be much more powerful games and completely new rivals.
Toda was very excited about the announcement. “I’m really looking forward to what kind of story it will be this time.” Matsuda is all fired up as well. “I’m already preparing all the lies.”
