It’s been seven years since we last saw a film by Michael Mann on the big screen. Seven years since the release of Hacker, his eleventh feature film. Either the longest period of scarcity for fans of the director of Heat and Miami vice. And in the absence of a new film, it will first be necessary to “settle” for a series with Tokyo vice. The filmmaker is indeed back on the small screen, more than ten years later Luck (2011). For the purposes of this show scheduled for HBO MaxMichael Mann directed only the first episode (and provided an executive producer role).

Tokyo Vice is an adaptation of the story of Jake Adelstein, an American journalist who managed to infiltrate the yakuza networks of Japan. In the casting, we will find in particular Ansel Elgort and Ken Watanabe. These are precisely the two actors that can be distinguished on the first image finally unveiled.
