Teaser - Golden Slumber

Here’s the first teaser for Yoshihiro Nakamura’s Golden Slumber, yet another film adaptation of a Kotaro Isaka novel. Nakamura also adapted Isaka’s “The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker” in 2007 and “Fish Story” in 2009.

Plot: During a parade in Sendai City for Sadayoshi Kaneda, the opposition party’s first Prime Minister, a radio-controlled bomb suddenly explodes and kills him. Around the same time, a courier named Aoyagi (Masato Sakai) meets up with an old friend named Morita. Morita seems to be acting very strange, and mentions the assassination before it happens. Suddenly police arrive with their guns drawn. Aoyagi witnesses Morita’s death in an explosion and makes a run for it, completely confused by what just happened.

Soon, several pieces of damning evidence come to light, pointing to Aoyagi as the main conspirator of the assassination. With nowhere left to turn, Aoyagi must place all his trust in a small circle of friends to help him along the way including his university junior Kazu (Gekidan Hitori), his ex-girlfriend Haruko (Yuko Takeuchi), a serial killer the media has dubbed “Kill-O” (Gaku Hamada), and a yakuza hospital patient (Akira Emoto).

“Golden Slumber” will be released in Japan on January 30, 2010.
