First-time director Yoshihiro Nishimura is currently busy shooting his TOKYO GORE POLICE, a 15-day shot taking place in the Japanese capital. Fever Dreams are behind the film, a company that have earlier released films such as DEATH TRANCE and MACHINE GIRL. You can find their official site here. Director Nishimura comes from working with special makeup and has worked on such films as MEATBALL MACHINE, and on the upcoming Hideo Nakata film L: CHANGE THE WORLD.
TOKYO GORE POLICE tells the story about Ruka, a police officer in a special squad formed to eradicate human mutations that have recently sprung into existence, the result of a virus created by a mad scientist simply known as Key Man. Killing these unwieldy mutants is no easy task, and Ruka, naturally enough, carries a samurai sword with her at all times. Despite being on opposite sides of the fence, Ruka and Key Man share a common bond: the murder of their fathers years earlier at the hands of the police, and both she and Key Man seek revenge for their dads’ untimely demise.
The character of Ruka is played by Eihi Shiina, known for her role as Asami in Miike's AUDITION. The fight scenes in the film will be choreographed by Tak Sakaguchi, who has earlier worked on Ryuhei Kitamura's AZUMI and GODZILLA: FINAL WARS. The film will wrap up this month and the trailer for it will be shown at Yubari Fantastic Film Festival in March. More when it happens.
