CITY HUNTER: Get Wild With Ryohei Suzuki In The Official Trailer!
Actor and last year’s NYAFF Screen International Rising Star Award Winner Ryohei Suzuki (Egoist) is now the face of the the latest live-action take on manga classic, City Hunter. With an April 25 date stamped, a brand new trailer is in the mix as of Monday, proffering up another promising move in the genre for Netflix in the wake of its recent successes.
Ryo Saeba is a “sweeper” based in Shinjuku, Tokyo who cleans up trouble in the gritty underworld. Although he’s an unparalleled playboy who struggles to keep his cool around beautiful women, when he accepts a request, he carries it out with crack marksmanship, impressive athletic abilities and a calm composure.
The unflappable, foolish and flirtatious Ryo is played by Ryohei Suzuki, while the heroine Kaori Makimura is played by Misato Morita. Ryo’s partner Hideyuki Makimura is played by Masanobu Ando, and Saeko Nogami, a beautiful detective who has a complicated relationship with Ryo, is played by Fumino Kimura.
Join Ryo, Kaori and Hideyuki on the bustling streets of modern-day Shinjuku as the curtain finally rises on the origin story of “City Hunter.”
Yuichi Satoh directs from a script by Tatsuro Mishima who also wrote Sho Tsukikawa’s hit take on “Yu Yu Hakusho” for Netflix. Also starring are Asuka Hanamura, Moemi Katayama, Ayame Misaki, Ami201, Tetta Sugimoto, Takaya Sakoda, and Isao Hashizume, with action sequences by Takashi Tanimoto who helped shepherd the thrills for Netflix’s “Alice In Borderland”.
