Jones will portray General Douglas MacArthur, the US Supreme Commander of the occupying forces.

Production is scheduled to begin this month in New Zealand and Japan. “Tommy will bring strength, intelligence, and gravitas to the portrayal of General Douglas MacArthur, a legendary American hero,” producer Gary Foster said.
