NEWS’ Tegoshi joins Horikita, Matsuyama in “Nakushita Kioku”

Yuya Tegoshi of NEWS has been added to the cast of “Nakushita Kioku,” an upcoming movie by American director Hans Canosa. The film was announced earlier this week when it was revealed that Maki Horikita and Kenichi Matsuyama will be the co-stars.

The film, based on Gabrielle Zevin’s “Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac,” tells the story of a high schooler named Naomi (Horikita) who loses the last four years of her memory in an accident. Tegoshi will play Mirai, her close friend.

Filming started this week. The movie is expected to be released in 2009, hopefully followed by a U.S. release in 2010.
