THE SILENT SERVICE: Takao Osawa Takes To The High Seas In The Official Launch Teaser
Kaiji Kawaguchi’s late 80s manga is now a thing of big-screen aspirations with Toho and Amazon Japan partnering together for new political war thriller, The Silent Service. The first official teaser introduces leading man Takao Osawa who plays a Naval captain who declares his ship a sovereign state.
Kohei Yoshino directs this, his third feature from a script by Hikaru Takai, and collaborated with the Japan Maritime Defende Forces to help bring the production to life. Osawa is also producing the film alongside Shinzô Matsuhashi, who is credited for such live-action adaptations as Gintama and Gintama 2, Rurouni Kenshin: Origins, and Shinsuke Sato’s first and second chapters of the Kingdom franchise which also co-stars Osawa.
The Silent Service lands a day-and-date theatrical and streaming release in the region on September 29.
