Nakama Yukie & Abe Hiroshi back in last movie of TRICK

Nakama Yukie and Abe Hiroshi will be back in their roles of Yamada Naoko and Ueda Jiro in the final movie of the TRICK series which will be shown next year. The movie titled "TRICK Gekijouban Last Stage" marks the end of the 14-year TRICK legacy which began in July 2000 as a midnight drama. Nakama plays the role of Yamada who is an unpopular magician while Ueda is a self-proclaimed physics expert and the two come together to solve a series of weird cases. To date, there have been 3 drama series, 2 drama SPs and 3 movies which achieved ticket sales of JPY 5.25 billion. As this can be considered as one of Nakama's signature works which shot her to fame, she commented that she was sad to see the series end especially since she had first acted in it when she was 20 years old. Filming will begin soon and will include location shooting overseas for the first time.
