Ansel Elgort descends into the Japanese underworld in trailer for HBO Max series Tokyo Vice

March 16, 2022 by Amie Cranswick

HBO Max has released a poster and trailer for the crime drama Tokyo Vice. Loosely based on Jake Adelstein’s 2009 memoir Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan and with a pilot directed by Michael Mann (Manhunter, Heat), the series stars Ansel Elgort, Ken Watanabe, Rinko Kikuchi, Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Hideaki Ito, Show Kasamatsu, and Tomohisa Yamashita.

Check out the poster, trailer and synopsis here…

Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, the crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (played by Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.

Tokyo Vice premieres on HBO Max on April 7th.
