Filming Starts On Live Action Touch Movie
Date: 3/4/2005
Toho has recently began recruiting extras for it's live action Touch film. Filming just began in the Omiya Ballpark (Saitama City Omiya Ward). Saitama City launched a campaign in September, 2002 to raise it's visibility as an attractive location to film in. In an unusual move to this end, the prefecture and Saitama City are doing alot of the legwork in the extra casting promotional efforts. Extras will be asked to participate as a spectator in the regional preliminary gold medal game scene of the Koshien University that will form the climax of the movie. 300-2700 people are expected to be recruited daily until they fill their need.
