Trailer - Villain (Akunin) [English-subtitled]

Yahoo! Eiga has posted a link to the new trailer for Sang-il Lee’s upcoming film Villain (Akunin).

The film is based on a crime story by Shuichi Yoshida which was originally serialized in Asahi Shimbun in 2006 and later published as a novel. In the story, a young female insurance agent is murdered and police initially suspect a rich college student is the culprit. However, their investigation soon leads them to a lonely blue collar worker named Yuichi (Satoshi Tsumabuki). By the time police have sorted this out, Yuichi meets a woman named Mitsuyo (Eri Fukatsu) by chance and the two attempt to evade detection in her car. During their time together, the unlikely pair gradually become captivated by one another.

Toho will be releasing “Villain” in Japan on September 11, 2010.
