SHOWTIME 7: Catch The Latest Trailer For The New Thriller Starring Hiroshi Abe
Taking a page from Kim Byung-woo’s 2013 thriller, The Terror Live, is director Kazutaka Watanabe with the explosive new thriller, Showtime 7. The campaign for this film has been running since late last year and the latest official trailer is now making the rounds. Watanabe directs Showtime 7 from his own script which casts Hiroshi Abe in the role of a former popular news anchor-turned-radio host who finds himself mitigating terroristic bomb threats with a mysterious caller. The description teases something even twistier will happen with Abe’s character in the last six minutes which, admittedly, has me curious to say the least. Also starring are Ryo Ryusei, Meri Nukumi, Mizuki Maehara, Tetsu Hirahara, Kouki Uchiyama, Tamae Ando, Mitsuru Hirata, Haruka Igawa, and Kotaro Yoshida. The movie is set to release on Friday in Japan.
