KAWANISHI TAKUMI, KIMATA SYOYA, and KINJO SUKAI have been confirmed to appear in the film "Run for Money THE MOVIE," which will be released on Friday, July 19, 2024.

Fuji TV variety show "Run for Money" began airing in 2004 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The fugitives receive a bounty based on how long they escape from the hunters, but if they are caught, they get nothing! It's a gamble to get rich quick - can you run until the end and win the big bucks, or retire midway and make a safe bet? This hugely popular show will be made into a drama film in the year of its 20th anniversary.

The setting for "Run for Money THE MOVIE" is the biggest "Run for Money" ever, with a total prize of over 100 million yen and 1,000 participants! This is a thrilling, sometimes heart-pounding, sometimes tear-jerking story that will give you a sense of realism and create a new kind of attraction movie.

The powerful escape action, the sense of speed, and the negotiations with the hunter that can only be experienced on a big screen...

Come experience "Run for Money: The Movie" in the theater, which is definitely out of the ordinary in every way!

Tachibana Yamato: A sprinter from the prestigious Meiō University track and field team

When I heard that the movie version of "Run for Money" was going to be released and that I was going to be the main cast, I wondered if it was a prank (laughs). Before filming, I went to practice athletics, and as the days passed, I realized that it wasn't a lie! Yamato, who I play, has some unconventional aspects, but he is a very compassionate character who really cares about his friends. The members of FANTASTICS were really nice and interesting from the first time I met them...I was really happy to be able to work with them because I had watched the drama in which SATO Taiki, who plays Joji, appeared. I am very honored and grateful to be able to play as the main cast in this big stage production for the 20th anniversary. It is a thrilling and moving work that can be enjoyed by fans of "Run for Money" and those who don't know "Run for Money" yet. Please look forward to it!

Ikouken: A smart college student who is addicted to investing

"Run for Money" is synonymous with my generation... I was surprised when I was chosen to appear in the film because it was popular at school and everyone would imitate the "Hunter Release!". I'm very happy to be able to appear with such a great cast in this 20th anniversary film! Ken, who I played, has a complex in his heart, but that's what makes him human... he's a little lame, but he's very realistic and I like him! I felt the youth of the members of FANTASTICS in my acting, so of course there was a bond between us as characters, but we also became close through filming, and I felt the youth of the members in real life. We made plans for each other, sometimes messing around, and we built a great relationship. "Run for Money THE MOVIE" is a deep film that can be enjoyed by both adults and children, so please go see it at the theater!

Yugo Kitamura: The third generation owner of a small factory struggling with financial issues

I've been watching "Run for Money" since I was a child, and even as a child I had a strong confidence that "I can run for money!", so I'm proud to be able to appear in this movie, and I want to brag about it to my younger self. I didn't have much acting experience to begin with, but as I seriously played the role of Yugo, I saw the bond between the six of them, and the faces and serious gazes of the staff who supported me, and I feel like I was able to act beyond the lines of emotion. Since it depicts the growth and bond between the characters, I think it will especially resonate with students and people in similar situations. Everyone, please watch the movie "Run for Money THE MOVIE" with your family, friends, and many others. I also hope that those who are working hard at their youth in club activities will watch it at the theater with me.
