[Trailer] Takashi Miike’s New Yakuza Film ‘First Love’ Brings the Smell of War Along With It
With over 100 feature films under his belt, Takashi Miike (Audition) is showing no signs of slowing down, and up next he’s got a noir-tinged yakuza film on the way with First Love!
Described as being Miike “at his most fun and anarchic,” the new movie blends genres and tells the story of a young boxer and a call girl, who fall passionately in love while getting innocently caught up in a drug-smuggling scheme over the course of one night in Tokyo.
Masataka Kubota (13 Assassins), Shôta Sometani (Tokyo Tribe) and Nao Ohmori (Ichi the Killer) star.
Well Go Usa will release First Love in NY/LA on September 27, with an expansion on October 4.
Check out the teaser trailer below.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
