So, at this moment we know that commercials director Anthony Mandler is set to make his big screen directorial debut with Tokyo Vice, which he will direct from a script written by J.T. Rogers.
The movie will tell us a riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist.
Radcliffe is set to play Jake Adelstein, the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and the yakuza…
…but when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back.
The film is set to begin shooting in early 2014, and as usual – with every new update we'll be back, so make sure you stay tuned!
