The one-day premiere will have the Japanese audio track with English and Arabic subtitles. Ego Punch Entertainment will announce the information about the tickets at a future date.

One Piece Film: Gold is set to release in Japan on July 23. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda will reprise his role as the executive producer of the movie. The film will be directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto, who also worked on Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island as the assistant director, and was written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa, who wrote the live action Liar Game: The Final Stage and Liar Game: Reborn films, as well as the live-action Black Butler film. The veteran actress and musician Mayumi Kojima will provide the theme song “Gold & Jive ~ Silver Ocean” and GLIM SPANKY will provide「怒りをくれよ」(ikari wo kureyo) for One Piece Film: Gold.

Among the locations overseas, One Piece Film: Gold has been confirmed to come to Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy, Singapore and now in Abu Dhabi. The movie is rumored to come to Germany and Austria as well, but Kazé Deutschland has not confirmed the release. As for the North American theatrical and home video release, let’s hope that the next distribution company to announce the movie’s acquisition is none other than FUNimation.
