The live-action Sins of Kujo film opens in Japan on January 8, 2027. A new trailer and poster name Hitsujibungaku's "Dispel" as its theme song.
The Sins of Kujo film moves forward with its January 8, 2027 Japan opening date unchanged across three announcements. The first confirmed the project's existence and its key personnel: Yuuya Yagira as Taiza Kujo and Hokuto Matsumura as Shinji Karasuma, with Nobuhiro Doi directing from a script by Nonji Nemoto. The film follows the Netflix live-action series of Shohei Manabe's manga. Manabe's manga launched in Weekly Big Comic Spirits in October 2020 and has over 4 million copies in circulation.
A September teaser added six cast members around the two leads. Kiyohiko Shibukawa plays Takehito Mitarashi, Haru Kuroki plays Kanako Kujo, Yui Narumi plays Rui Ota, Eita Okuno plays Uji, Mutsuo Yoshioka plays Karigane, and Yu Tokui plays Kajiya. The supporting roster leans toward yakuza and swindler roles, matching the crime-world setting the Netflix series drew from.
In late October, TOHO Movies posted a new trailer and poster. The trailer names and previews "Dispel" by hitsujibungaku, the same band that performed the theme for the earlier live-action series. The returning leads, director, and theme band keep the film tied to the series rather than presenting it as a separate adaptation.
