Shinsuke Sato’s KINGDOM Saga Continues With A Fourth Movie On The Way
Principal photography has already wrapped on a fourth installment of Shinsuke Sato’s sprawling live-action adaptation of the hit manga, Kingdom. The news comes following the release of the Toho/Sony Pictures International saga’s third chapter, Kingdom: Flame Of Destiny, which opened in Japan back in July.
Kento Yamazaki (Netflix’s “Alice In Borderland”) leads a cast that includes Ryo Yoshizawa (Bleach) and Kanna Hashimoto (Gintama), for a story based on Yasuhisa Hara’s hit manga and adapted for the screen by Tsutomu Kuroiwa. Set during the Warring States, the saga chronicles war orphan Shin (Yamazaki) on his harrowing quest to become a great general, while aiding King Eisei (Yoshizawa) on his mission to unify China.
The first and second films are currently streaming on Netflix in the U.S.. Further details on the fourth title and release remain pending as the film resume’s post-production.
