Tommy Lee Jones will play the iconic Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Fellers Film and Krasnoff/Foster Entertainment's post-World War II thriller "Emperor."
According to Variety, Peter Webber is directing from a script by David Klass and Vera Blasi.
Yoko Narahashi, Gary Foster, Eugene Nomura and Russ Krasnoff are producing with shooting set to begin later this month.
Matthew Fox has also been cast.
The story is based on real events after the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II.
Gen. Bonner Fellers (Fox), one of MacArthur's (Jones) staff and Japanese experts, must make the historical decision whether Emperor Hirohito should be tried and hanged as a war criminal. Fellers must also find his true love Aya, a Japanese exchange student, in the ruins of Japan.
Jones will be seen in "Men in Black III" later this year.
