Production is firmly underway for Bomb, a new psychological suspense thriller from director Akira Nagai (Character). Warner Bros. Japan made the announcement on Monday including a super teaser in their rollout of casting news.
Actors Yuki Yamada (Godzilla Minus One), Sairi Itoh (Don’t Call It Mystery), Shota Sometani (Cells At Work), and Atsuro Watabe (Masquerade Night), will star in the film. Bomb is based on Wu Seung-ho’s award-winning novel which follows the efforts of Tokyo’s Metro Police negotiator, as he is tasked with investigating a slew of bomb threats throughout the city, and a detained drunken vagrant who says he can predict when the bombs will go off.
The film additionally reunites Yamada with Shota Okada (Tokyo Revengers trilogy) who is producing the new film. Principal photography is expected to wrap in March for a 2025 release date to be announced from Warner Bros. Japan.
Check out the hype teaser below, followed by the inaugural poster art comprised of the cast and crew roster set against a smoldering backdrop.
