20th Century Fox is planning their own Hayabusa film based on the space probe that landed on Earth last year. It will star, the ever great, Yuko Takeuchi.
The movie shows the challenges faced by the JAXA staff over the seven years of the Hayabusa space flight. Takeuchi plays a JAXA researcher carrying additional responsibilities as part of the publicity department and camera crew, while Nishida Toshiyuki plays the boss who recruited her. Filming has already started, and Fox says it wants to release this film internationally including the United States.
