The title and premiere date for the newest One Piece movie has been revealed in the first issue of Weekly Shonen Jump for 2016. The movie will be titled One Piece Film Gold and will premiere in Japan on July 23, 2016. The movie was first announced back in August.

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda, who was an executive producer of One Piece Strong World and One Piece Film Z, will return as an executive producer for One Piece Film Gold.

The film director will be Hiroaki Miyamoto. Mr. Miyamoto is a series director on One Piece, and was the assistant director of Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. We featured an interview with Hiroaki Miyamoto in February 2014 conducted by the official One Piece website. One Piece Film Gold will be written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa, who wrote the live action Liar Game: The Final Stage and Liar Game: Reborn, and the live-action Black Butler film.

The tagline on the advertisement says, “peeking through the text of ‘GOLD’ is Luffy’s piercing gaze!! What does the title mean?!”

The first series of pre-sale film tickets will be made available for purchase on December 18, with the second 2016 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump unveiling the bonus content that would go along with the pre-sale tickets.

To celebrate this news, Weekly Shonen Jump‘s issue cover included One Piece‘s Monkey D. Luffy with monkeys, perhaps to represent the fact that One Piece Film Gold will premiere during the Year of the Monkey, in 2016.

At this time, it is not known if this is the “big announcement” that was planned for the broadcast of the upcoming One Piece: Adventure of Nebulandia movie, or the upcoming Jump Festa One Piece Super Stage event, which may include some information on the upcoming One Piece Film Gold that has yet to be revealed.
