21-year-old AKB48 member Kitahara Rie (currently part of Team B and sister group SKE48) has landed her first starring role in a theatrical movie. Titled “Joker Game,” the film is yet another entry in the idol-filled “survival game” suspense genre. Kitahara’s supporting cast includes Takatsuki Sara (15) of the idol group bump.y, Koike Yui (21) of Tomato n' Pine (also known for her role as Gokai Pink in “Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger”), and D2 members Okubo Shotaro (17), Shiramata Atsushi (18), and Negishi Takuya (16). Kitahara plays a 3rd-year high school student at a prefectural college prep school. When all of the third-year students go on a camp trip together, their teachers announce that they will all have to participate in a card game of “Old Maid.” However, the camp is actually part of an experiment by the national government to put an end to the country’s declining education and to boost the students’ “humanity” – meaning that the game is really a deadly test that will truly decide their fates. Although this is Kitahara’s first time in the lead role on the big screen, she previously acted in last year’s “Graffreeter Toki.” She has also recently been gaining more attention with her role on Fuji TV’s ongoing reality show “Terrace House.” “Joker Game” will open on December 22nd. http://www.tokyograph.com/news/kitahara ... oker-game/

Bumping this old post because i just blown away by the twist. Okay, not really and tbh the one that blow me away is the 2013 sequel Joker Game Escape that i just watched. I watch Joker Game in WakuWakuJapan around last year but it left a huge impression on me for no particular reason Anyway, the movie is surprisingly quite graphic about violence. The mind game is not that extreme but there are indeed several twist in the story- small/big - that you might not see coming. Kitarie did an great job in acting, especially during the final standoff with Takatsuki Sara's character. If you like the 2012 movie then i suggest you to continue with the Joker Game Escape, the story relates with the 2012 one and i got mindfcked really hard thanks to a twist in the end. I really hope they are going to continue with a third movie and maybe close the story. Spoiler In the first movie Rie and Sara (Sara joined the game to save her older brother iirc, he's dead btw) manage to ran away. In the second movie, we are showed that the Ohno's (Sara's character) actually consisted of another Older Sister. She volunteered to join the game to save Sara who 'lost in the Old Maid game, and soon will be transferred to this facility' Little did she know that Sara actually have escaped Shit i really need to know what goes down next
