Takashi Miike starts filming Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo this month
Takashi Miike, the Japanese director behind films such as Audition and Ichi the Killer, has lined up his next picture, Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, which will offer an international twist on the series that first caused controversy back in 1992 via Abel Ferrara and Harvey Keitel.
For this installment — which begins filming this month — Takashi Miike has gathered the likes of Shun Oguri, Lily James and WWE Superstar Liv Morgan. As per Deadline, the movie “will follow the Bad Lieutenant (Oguri), a corrupt gambler in the Metropolitan Police Force, who finds himself thrown into a tangled case after an enigmatic FBI agent (James) arrives in Tokyo to investigate the disappearance of a politician’s daughter (Morgan). Meanwhile, a deviant killer operating in the yakuza underworld seems to be shadowing their moves.”
So what does Takashi Miike have in store for viewers? As he put it, “A team of incredibly talented actors and crew has gathered in Tokyo.
