Yuri Nakamura cast as AV star in "Lala Pipo"

[Tokyograph News]

Actress Yuri Nakamura has been announced as part of the cast of "Lala Pipo," the big screen adaptation of Hideo Okuda's same-named novel.

The former YURIMARI member got a big acting break last year when she played the heroine in Kazuyuki Izutsu's "Pacchigi! LOVE & PEACE." Erika Sawajiri, who starred in the original "Pacchigi!" film, had a scheduling conflict that forced Izutsu to re-cast the role.

In the sex-themed comedy "Lala Pipo," however, Nakamura plays an OL who becomes a porn star after being persuaded by a sex industry scout, portrayed by lead actor Hiroki Narimiya. The movie also has Morisanchu's Tomoko Murakami playing a chubby adult actress.

Filming has already wrapped up for the movie, which is scheduled to premiere in 2009. The pic is Masayuki Miyano's first feature-length work as director, but he was backed by Tetsuya Nakashima who wrote the script.
