and here is the news:
Apparently on eiga.com and yahoo japan today, a legit website about japanese film related news, a headline popped up mentioning our lovely jin. The headline said:
KAT-TUN�Ԑ��m�A���ѕ��j���ē�uBANDAGE�v�ʼnf�揉�剉�I
(KAT-TUN Akanishi Jin will be playing the lead role in Kobayashi Takeshi's first directed film, Bandage)
But the article is completely gone now, despite that they put up this article TODAY. Maybe they weren't suppose to release the news yet? Or maybe they decided to change the lead role all of sudden? i HOPE Jin will be playing the lead role
KAT-TUN deserves work because they've been lacking in it.
Here is the copy of the article that used to be on the site:

Translation:
Popular Idol Group, KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin will be playing the lead role for the first time in a music drama called "BANDAGE". According to the Nippon TV executive producer, they will start filming aroud November 3rd and 4th within Tokyo. They are planning to release the movie around 2010.
The movie takes place in the 90's when amateur bands were popular. A high school girl becomes the manager of a popular band, LANDS, and the story is told through her eyes. She meets the lead vocal, Natsu (Jin) and other members and develop friendship. The title have two meanings - BAND AGE (the age of the bands) and also BANDAGE (bandage..lol). It is about youth chasing their dreams and growing from their experiences.
(stuff about the director..)
The director commented that after reading the script, he felt that Akanishi would be good for the lead role. They have already started to prepare by having Jin try on the costumes, read the lines, discuss their looks for the character, etc.
The producer commented "I'm excited for how it will become. I think the main character's and Akanishi's way of life will be very similar and shown on the screen. This will be a music movie that no one has ever seen
Yay.... also on the side note:
White X'mas is written by NAO again. LOVE <3 I hope Junno is still good friends with him. it's nice for him to have musical inspirations like him. I heard that in the summer, NAO had a solo concert and sang Natsu no Basho!" *
