Overview
- Takashi Miike’s Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo debuted an official Japanese trailer and is set for its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday.
- Shun Oguri stars as a disgraced Tokyo detective and Lily James plays an FBI agent, with WWE star Liv Morgan cast as the missing American woman at the center of the story.
- The film follows a corrupt, gambling-addicted cop who becomes entangled with a vengeful ex-yakuza and an FBI-linked investigation into a powerful family’s missing daughter.
- NEON released the trailer and lists a U.S. release for the film later this year but has not announced a firm date, and producers include Pressman Film, Recorded Picture Company, Nippon Television, and OLM.
- The movie is marketed as a standalone sequel in the Bad Lieutenant lineage and represents Miike’s auteur take on noir and yakuza crime, with the TIFF launch aimed at generating critical buzz and distribution momentum.
