Shun Oguri, Lily James & Liv Morgan to Star in Takashi Miike's BAD LIEUTENANT: TOKYO

Shun Oguri ("Godzilla v. Kong"), Lily James ("Pam and Tommy"), and WWE star Liv Morgan aka Gionna Daddio are set to star in Neon's upcoming film "Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo", which will be directed by Takashi Miike ("Audition", "13 Assassins").

The thriller 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.

The script is written by Daisuke Tengan ("Audition", "13 Assassins") based on the series that includes Abel Ferrara's 1992 film "Bad Lieutenant" and 2009's "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" directed by Werner Herzog. Production is set to begin in May. Neon will release the film theatrically in North America and represent the international sales rights in Cannes this month.

The film will be a U.S.-Japan co-production, produced by Jeremy Thomas for Recorded Picture Company, Sam Pressman for Pressman Film, Naoaki Kitajima for Nippon TV and Misako Saka for OLM. Executive producers include Tom Quinn, Yuzo Kuwahara, Tetsu Fujimura, Paula Paizes, Alainée Kent, Peter Watson, Ivan Kelava, Max Loeb and Mike Apgar. The deal was negotiated by Neon's Sarah Colvin, VP of Acquisitions, and Paula Paizes from Pressman Film and Recorded Picture Company's Ivan Kelava on behalf of the filmmakers.

Here's what Miike had to say about the project: "A team of incredibly talented actors and crew has gathered in Tokyo. Now. I'm about to throw a fastball straight down the middle of your strike zone – no tricks, no gimmicks. I'm confident we are about to break through every limit, to create unforgettable entertainment. Get ready for the ride with us".

Producer Jeremy Thomas of Recorded Picture Company added: "We're all delighted to reinterpret this iconic IP with a master filmmaker like Takashi Miike. We've produced 10 films in Japan, most recently Grand Maison Paris, which has grossed over $28M domestically, and it's a fertile place to create and distribute films. I feel the time is right for this irreverent hybrid."

Sam Pressman, CEO of Pressman Film said the following: "Director Miike brings a fearless new vision to the Bad Lieutenant, a character defined by the auteur. Just as maestros Ferrara and Herzog delivered films as radically different as their own voices, Miike's adaptation is unrelentingly wild and unique. My father Edward R. Pressman, always believed this story of corruption, both of police and the human soul, has a global resonance. To realize this next evolution now in Tokyo with Director Miike, NEON and my father's lifelong friend Jeremy Thomas — all true believers in the power of independent cinema — is both an honor and a dream come true."
