二宮和也が殺人者役「狂気が僕にある…」

嵐の二宮和也（２５）が１１日、舞台「見知らぬ乗客」（７月１８日～８月１１日、東京グローブ座）の制作発表を都内で行った。４年ぶりの舞台に「基本、嵐以外の仕事はアウエーなので、勉強させてもらいに行っている感じです」と意気込んだ。

同名人気小説が原作で、５１年にアルフレド・ヒチコックが映画化。物語は資産家の息子が偶然列車に乗り合わせた建築家に交換殺人を迫るサスペンス。数々のブロードウェー作品を手掛けてきたロバート・アラン・アッカーマン氏が演出する。

演じるのは狂気の殺人鬼の一面を持つ青年。「狂気は僕にあるのかな…。考えたことがないけど、ゲームやトランプとか楽しめるものをみつけるとひたすら楽しむ集中力は人とは違うのかな」と自分の中に潜む“狂気”を明かした。

恋人のように親しい母親を秋吉久美子（５４）が演じる。二宮は秋吉と映画「青の炎」で共演。同作品でも二宮が殺人者で秋吉がその母親を演じており、偶然だが今回も同じ設定に。秋吉は二宮について「頼りになる子。いざとなったら受け止められる子」と高く評価した。

ほか、内田滋が出席。

a brief translation:
nino attended the press conference for his coming stage play "strangers on a train".This stage play is adapted from a popular novel and Alfred Hitchcock turned it into movie in 1951.The director will be Robert Allan Ackerman.
The role nino will play is Bruno who has a mad murderer character.Kumiko Akiyoshi will play his mother.

some info:

According to The Globe Tokyo's home page,the script is not the one of Alfred Hitchcock's film but the theatre version written by Craig Warner.
On wikipedia it shows that Bruno will be a homosexual murderer who collapses at the end and commit suicide.I'm so curious how nino will show Bruno's character.Also on wikipedia there's some information about the writer Craig Warner
Robert Allan Ackerman,the Emmy-winning dramatist will direct this stage play.Here is a list of his famous works.Plus I found an interview in which he was talking about his project in Japan.

In my POV I think it is really great that nino has this chance to work with him.He's an experienced dramatist.Besides he's willing to bring some western ideas into Japanese theatre system.I believe nino can learn something quite different from what he has learnt  before.As an actor nino is extraordinary.I hope this stage play would make him even better^ ^

And there's one question.As there isn't any info about the role of Bruno's father,perhaps it's replaced by the role of mother?As it shows above Kumiko Akiyoshi will play Bruno's mother,maybe she's the one who will be killed by Guy?Anyway it's nice to see nino working again with her.Plus it's interesting cuz last time they worked together,nino was her son who committed a murder,and this time nino is still her son and kills again^ ^

BTW I just found 内田滋's(Shige Uchida) blog...is it a bit impolite?anyway according to his post on 29 May the brochure book is very well photographed he'd rather consider it as a real photobook!!Wow I guess I should find someone who could help me to buy it!

If any of you have more info about the director and the writer please tell me
