The folks behind John Wick are back with Karōshi trailer
摘要

曾打造《疾速追杀》系列的查德·斯塔赫斯基将推出新作《Karōshi》,狮门影业已发布预告片。影片由Takashi Doscher编剧并执导,设定在近未来的曼哈顿,讲述一名神秘外来者潜入一家强大公司,揭露其光鲜表面下暴力体系的故事。片名取自日语“过劳死”,聚焦过度工作致死的现实议题。主演包括刘台午、平岳大、吉安卡罗·埃斯波西托、辛西娅·艾莉佛等。

Those of us missing the John Wick universe can take heart, because Chad Stahelski—who created that franchise—is coming back early next year with a new dystopian action film. It's called Karōshi (a Japanese term that means "death overwork"), and Lionsgate released a killer trailer that puts this film at the top of my list of "must see" movies of 2027.

Dying from working too hard is a very real phenomenon, not just in Japan and much of Asia, but also in Sweden, where some 700 workers die each year from overwork. The physical cause is usually stress-related heart attacks or strokes, as well as suicide (karōjisatsu in Japan). Writer/director Takashi Doscher has transported that concept to a grim, futuristic corporate Manhattan, specifically a company called Ikigai Technologies. Per the official premise:

Karōshi is an action-thriller set in a near-future Manhattan, where corporate loyalty and cultural tradition have reshaped everyday life. When a mysterious outsider infiltrates a powerful company after a worker’s death, he exposes the violent system hidden beneath its polished surface.

Teo Yoo (Past Lives) stars as the aptly named Hiro, who is clearly out for vengeance against the offending corporation. The cast also includes Takehiro Hira, so memorable in the 2024 miniseries Shōgun, as well as Giancarlo Esposito, Cynthia Erivo, Bill Camp, Richard Harmon, Isabel May, and Show Kasamatsu.
