Shosuke Tanihara's first starring role in a movie will be in Tsutomu Hanabusa's "Handsome Suit," scheduled to open this fall. The story is adapted from a book by popular TV writer Osamu Suzuki, known for his work on variety shows such as "SMAP x SMAP." Suzuki also wrote "Busu no Hitomi ni Koishiteru," based on his marriage to Miyuki Oshima of comedy trio Morisanchu.

"Handsome Suit" revolves around a magical suit that makes its wearer more attractive. Muga Tsukaji plays the main character without the suit on, while Tanihara plays the post-transformation "handsome" man.

Filming is expected to start in March.
