“Yurusarezaru Mono” Japanese Theatrical Poster
After previously collaborating on the remake of Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven, director Sang-il Lee (Hula Girls) and actor Ken Watanabe (Inception) are set to premiere their next artistic collaboration, the murder mystery Rage (aka Anger, Ikari).
The plot description from the Toronto International Film Festival: A grisly unsolved murder links three seemingly unrelated stories in three different Japanese cities, in this arresting ensemble thriller from director Sang-il Lee.
In addition to Ken Watanabe, the thriller’s cast includes Kenichi Matsuyama (Gantz), Aoi Miyazaki (Nana), Satoshi Tsumabuki (The World of Kanako), Go Ayano (Lupin the 3rd), Suzu Hirose (Our Little Sister), and Mirai Moriyama (20th Century Boys). The film is based on a novel by Shuichi Yoshida, whose writing also inspired Sang-il Lee’s 2010 feature, Villain.
Rage will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (which runs from September 8th to the 18th), followed by a theatrical release in Japanese cinemas on September 17th. No word about a US release date or distributor yet but we’ll keep you posted.
Until then, check out the film’s TIFF trailer.
