Written, Directed, Edited by, and Starring Joe Odagiri! 'THE OLIVER (Gosh!!) MOVIE' Blu-ray & DVD Release Confirmed for Wednesday, July 8, 2026!

★The legendary drama 'THE OLIVER (Gosh!!)', written, directed, and edited by Joe Odagiri and originally broadcast on NHK in 2021, is now a feature film! The story follows Ippei Aoba (Sosuke Ikematsu), a handler in the police dog unit, who—for some reason—sees his partner, the police dog Oliver, as a middle-aged man in a dog suit who is obsessed with alcohol, cigarettes, and women (to everyone else, he appears as a highly capable police dog). The bizarre premise of Joe Odagiri himself playing the man in the suit became a hot topic from the moment the drama was announced. Upon its broadcast, it captivated audiences, leading to a second season in 2022 and becoming a social phenomenon, even hitting #1 on Twitter (now X) worldwide. The acclaim extended beyond viewers, winning the Grand Prix in the Single Drama category at the Tokyo Drama Awards 2022 and receiving the Galaxy Award Monthly Prize. Now, this legendary drama has been adapted into a feature film: 'THE OLIVER (Gosh!!) MOVIE,' written, directed, edited by, and starring Joe Odagiri. ★An unparalleled, star-studded cast assembled by Director Odagiri! Returning from the drama series are lead actor Sosuke Ikematsu, along with co-stars Kumiko Aso, Tsubasa Honda, Amane Okayama, Haru Kuroki, Keiichi Suzuki, Kyusaku Shimada, Shohei Uno, Yuu Kashii, Masatoshi Nagase, and Koichi Sato. New members joining for the film version include Riho Yoshioka, Takeshi Kaga, Aoi Morikawa, Masahiro Takashima, Hina Kikuchi, Masaaki Hirai (Mannequin), and Eri Fukatsu, who makes her first film appearance in eight years. The film version of 'Oliver' is an unprecedented dark fantasy where opening a forbidden door reveals a mysterious, unseen world. What new case will Ippei and Oliver face? This autumn, a new world of 'Oliver' begins, assaulting the screen with a mix of laughter, seriousness, cynicism, and absurdity. ★Selected for numerous film festivals! Even half a year after its release, the excitement continues to spread globally! The film was selected for the International Feature Competition at the Porto Alegre International Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil! Furthermore, it was selected for the White Raven Competition at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival, a category dedicated to highly original and unique works, proving that the film's momentum continues to grow worldwide even six months after its release. ▼ 'THE OLIVER (Gosh!!)
