Oh dear god, I didn't know this until now. I like to watch anime a lot, and my absolute favourit anime (and manga!) is Black Butler, or Kuroshitsuji in japanese. I just found out that Black Butler will become a movie! Aaah, I'm so glad. I'm really excited for the movie! I only know that the movie will be released sometime during 2013, and that the person who will play the important role as Sebastian Michaelis is Mizushima Hiro! It was announced on January 8 that Mizushima will do a comeback as an actor through this movie. Black Butler will be directed by Otani Kentaro and animator Sato Keiichi.
"It is said that the producer of “Kuroshitsuji”, Matsuhashi Sinzo was first offered Mizushima over a year and a half ago, with his conviction of “Only Mizushima Hiro can play this role”, and eagerly visited him numerous times. Mizushima finally accepted the offer because of Matsuhashi’s enthusiasm, and the fascination of the original series. Mizushima said, “Up until now, my actions were based on the answers coming from my brain no matter what I do, but this time, I will have to follow the intuition that I should believe in Matsuhashi-san and this work. Right now, I am spending every day thinking how I can make ‘Kuroshitsuji’ a great work.“ The filming for the movie will start in April, and prior to that, Mizushima has already started reducing his weight for the role, as well as the training for actions."
