TV series starring Shota Matsuda premieres on April 12 before summer film
The official website for the live-action film and television series adaptation of Richard Woo (Takashi Nagasaki) and Shinichi Sugimura's Diaspolice: Ihō Keisatsu manga began streaming a teaser video for the television series on Saturday.
The site streamed a teaser for the film last week.
The TV series will premiere on TBS on April 12 and MBS on April 17 as the first show in the channels' "Dramaism" late-night drama programming block. The TV series is slated for 10 episodes. The film will open in Japan in summer. Shota Matsuda will star as the protagonist Saki Kubozuka.
The television series and film will also star Kenta Hamano, Shingo Yanagisawa, Yoshio Kou, and Marie.
Four directors will collaborate on the television series, including Masanori Tominaga (The Echo of Astro Boy's Footsteps), Katsuhito Mogi (The Next Generation -Patlabor- assistant director), Tetsuya Mariko, and Kazuyoshi Kumakiri (My Man). Each director will be responsible for a set number of episodes. Kumakiri will direct the film.
The manga received a Jury Selection award in the manga division at the 14th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2010. The award's official website describes the story:
There are roughly 150,000 illegal immigrants and illegal foreign workers in Tokyo. Those aliens have established a shady Metropolitan Government of the aliens, by the aliens, for the aliens. Public institutions such as government offices, courts, tax offices and hospitals exist within the shady government. KUBOZUKA Saki is the only police officer officially approved by the shady Metropolitan Government. This is a story of a mysterious man who protects and sometimes punishes aliens who can only live in the shady world. Today KUBOZUKA is again daring to and in the alien city of Tokyo.
Nagasaki (Billy Bat, Master Keaton Remaster) and Sugimura (Snow Blind, Rōjin Tobaku) serialized the manga in Kodansha's Morning magazine from 2006 to 2009. Kodansha published 15 compiled book volumes for the series.
