Eleven Arts, Fathom Events to screen film on August 13, 19 in the U.S.

Eleven Arts announced the cast members for its all-new English dub of Satoshi Kon's Millennium Actress anime film on Tuesday. The cast includes:

Eleven Arts will screen a digital remaster of the film in partnership with Fathom Events on August 13 (English subtitles) and on August 19 in theaters in the United States.

Paramount Pictures, which briefly streamed the film in 2016, describes the story:

Following up on his highly acclaimed animated psychological thriller Perfect Blue, Satoshi Kon spins this mystery about a documentary filmmaker and a legendary actress. In honor of Gin Ei studios 70th anniversary, a small production house run by Genya Tachibana is selected to make a commemorative documentary. Genya decides to focus his film on actress Chiyoko Fujiwara, a massive star who at the height of her popularity retreated from public life. Accompanied an eager young cameraman, Genya doggedly tracks her down to discover her living a hermit-like life of charmed isolation. He also learns that in spite of her advanced age, she has lost little of her famed charm or elegance. As he interviews her, Genya learns of Chiyoko's troubled past and eventually the reasons for her sudden retirement.

The film debuted in 2001, and DreamWorks released the film on DVD in North America in 2003. Bandai Visual released the film on Blu-ray Disc in Japan in February 2014. Streaming service Tubi TV began streaming the film in April 2017.

Update: Corrected Christopher Swindle's name.
