Still on deck for this year is crime thriller Hard Days, starring Junichi Okada and Go Ayano for its release on May 19. The official trailer is up for the flick which comes nearly a decade after Kim Sung-hoon’s original flick and remakes that followed thereafter.
On the night of December 29, Detective Yuji Kudo drives his car to see his mother, who is hospitalized with a serious health condition. He receives a phone call from the station police chief asking about his involvement in the creation of a slush fund.
He also learns that his mother has passed away. Yuji then accidentally hits a man with his car and that man dies. At the hospital, Yuji tries to cover up the death of the man he hit with his car by placing his dead body into his mother’s casket.
At that time, he receives a text message from Police Officer Yazaki. The text message warns “You killed a person. I know that.”
That about sums up what the trailer reveals to wind things up some. Admittedly I still haven’t seen the other iterations out of China, France and The Philippines but I reckon this will make for some interesting think pieces by the blogs on remakes and reimaginings to go head-to-head with the crowd still marching with pitchforks over that one remake that was announced… you know the one.
Check out the trailer below!
