The bumbling cop-turned-gangster shenanigans are back for one last hoorah with word that celebrated auteur Takashi Miike, currently on the road with trailers for his upcoming fantasy sequel The Great Yokai War: Guardians, just wrapped his curtain closure for the screen-adapted The Mole Song trilogy with The Mole Song: Final.
Actor Toma Ikuta reprises his lead role based on Noboru Takahashi’s onward 2005 manga series, with a screenplay by celebrated scribe Kankuro Kudo. As reported by Variety‘s Mark Schilling, the new film sees our haphazard hero, Reiji (Ikuta Toma) sent on an infiltration mission via luxury cruise ship to stop a billion dollar drug shipment, a mission that ultimately pits him against his strongest enemy yet.
The first short teaser is online which you can view above as the campaign begins ahead of the film’s release in Japan on November 19 from Toho.
