Satoshi Tsumabuki will be starring in a semi-documentary film, currently titled "Buta ga Ita Kyoushitsu." This is his first role as a teacher.
The movie is based on the true story of a class of sixth graders at an elementary school in Osaka. A rookie teacher suggested an educational project that involved the class raising a pig so that they could later eat it. The project naturally led to differences of opinions among the students.
The story was turned into an award-winning TV documentary in 1993. The film version will also be shot in the style of a documentary. A class of 28 children, chosen by audition, will actually live with and raise a pig. While the general plot will follow the real-life story, there is no detailed script - producer Toshiaki Suzuki hopes to capture the true reactions of the children.
The movie is scheduled for theatrical release next fall.
