Toei spent a good many months running a campaign of behind-the-scenes reels to help palpitate audiences awaiting director Isao Yukisada’s latest, Revolver Lily. To that end, and with an official release date in Japan for August 11 now in place, the official trailer is finally here.
1924, Yuri, a former competent spy who murdered 57 people in the past is working as a madam of a small brothel. There she encounters a boy who holds a key to find missing cash of the Imperial Japanese Army. Now, 1000 soldiers are after them; can they possibly survive six days of this deadly warfare?
Revolver Lily is based on Kyo Naguara’s Kodansha Bunko publication, and is produced by Toei’s Muneyuki Kii and Daisuke Takahashi.
The film stars Haruka Ayase who recently appeared opposite Takuya Kimura in Keishi Otomo’s feudal epic, The Legend And Butterfly. She is joined by young actor Jinsei Hamura in his feature film debut, with Hiroki Hasegawa, Tokyo MER: The Movie co-star and SixTones member Jesse, and actors Kavka Shishido, Kotone Furukawa, Hiroya Shimizu, Etsushi Toyokawa and Jiro Sato also starring among others.
