Actor Andrew Garfield as Father Rodrigues and Japanese Actor Shin’ya Tsukamoto as a villager named Mokchi.

Plot:
“In the seventeenth century, two Portuguese Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver) face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor (Liam Neeson) and propagate Christianity.”

Andrew Garfield kind of look handsome with a beard and long hair, doesn’t he? or a contrast effect, because the other chap has a receding hair line?

The film should hit theaters sometime in 2016.
