More specifics here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-26/lupin-iii-gets-live-action-film-in-summer-2014-starring-shun-oguri
The main cast is as follows:
Lupin the Third: Shun Oguri
Daisuke Jigen: Tetsuji Tamayama
Goemon Ishikawa: Gou Ayano
Fujiko Mine: Meisa Kuroki
Inspector Zenigata: Tadanobu Asano
Director: Ryuuhei Kitamura (Godzilla: Final Wars, Azumi, Versus, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes cutscenes)
ANN reports that the lead actor, Oguri, "underwent 10 months of action training for the role, losing 8 kilograms (about 17.6 pounds)."
Our long-time forumite Jo had shared rumors of this project months, even years in advance, but this is the first time it has materialized into an actual announcement. We can only speculate what will come of it, but there are already shots of Oguri in the wild in what appears to be at least partial costume, and plausible rumors that the director wants to revise the character of Goemon to be a bit more believable. Much like Luis Cruz of the Lupin Encyclopedia observed, we'll [try to] refrain from comment until we see a trailer.
