From Japanese master of horror Takashi Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer), Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo has received its first poster from Japan. The action thriller is a standalone sequel to Abel Ferrara’s 1992 film Bad Lieutenant, which was succeeded by Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans in 2009. Shun Oguri (Godzilla vs. Kong) and Lily James (Baby Driver) star alongside WWE superstar Liv Morgan, Shotaro Mamiya, Shūhei Nomura, Nanase Nishino, and Yuka Mukai. It follows 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. Daisuke Tengan (Audition, 13 Assassins) penned the script. Sam Pressman, son of Bad Lieutenant producer Edward R. Pressman, produces via Pressman Film along with Jeremy Thomas for Recorded Picture Company, Naoaki Kitajima for Nippon Television, and Misako Saka for OLM.

To whet your appetite for the gruesome mayhem, Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting a brand new featurette that introduces Weaving’s co-star: a state of the art BLOOD CANNON! The featurette video you’ll find below reveals how Ready or Not 2‘s human explosions are crafted, with more blood, guts, and advanced technology at play for this next installment. “In the first one, it was like a bag full of goo. And they just blew it up,” Weaving explains. “This one, it’s like a giant corkscrew thing.” Filmmakers Radio Silence detail, “They built this incredible rig that’s connected with a bunch of hoses and tubes to this pressurized air canister that would allow blood to fly out of it in random directions by turning the fins.” “There’s no shortage of blood here,” Kathryn Newton promises. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come opens in theaters March 20 via Searchlight Pictures. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.” Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Samara Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star. The horror-comedy sequel is once again directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence and written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy. Continue Reading
