The project is the live-action version of the manga Baban Baban Ban Vampire (ババンババンバンバンパイア) by Hiromasa Okujima, a BL-ish comedy where Ranmaru is a vampire working in a bath-house, aiming at Rihito's virgin blood. Nobunaga's role is going to be marginal, as he just appears in a flashback, but it's meaningful indeed, as it explains the rivalry between Ranmaru and his brother Nagayoshi in this work.
The movie is scheduled for February 14, so I'll keep you updated about further visuals of our hero.
The heart of historical drama enthusiast skipped a bit because Tsutsumi acted as a young Yoshinobu in Takeda Shingen taiga drama in 1988, so it's going to be meaningful seeing him in another major historical role, if just for a few scenes.

This said, Baban Baban Ban Vampire is going to get an anime adaptation earlier on January 11, so we may enjoy an animated version of Okujima's Nobunaga, too.
