First Teaser for SP: The Motion Picture (SP: Yabou-hen)
A 30-second teaser for Takafumi Hatano‘s upcoming 2-part “SP” (Security Police) theatrical release premiered in Japanese theaters on June 12th.
The film picks up after the events of the 11-episode drama series which aired on Fuji TV from November 2007 - January 2008. Junichi Okada reprises his role as young security police member Kaoru Inoue. The security police are tasked with guarding VIPs from assassination attempts with their own lives if necessary and are the last line of defense against terrorist plots. Although young, Inoue has exhibited innate skills, such as his photographic memory, which elevate him above his peers.
Plot: “It couldn’t be helped… It was for the greater good.” Those words from Ogata (Shinichi Tsutsumi) still fill Inoue with confusion and suspicion. It is now one month later, and Tokyo has become a hotbed of terrorist plots that threaten to rock the very foundation of Japan’s political system, with each originating in Roppongi. Inoue somehow manages to deal with each threat, but a terrorist leader is still waiting to make his next move. What was the real meaning of Ogata’s shocking statement? In the end, Ogata and Inoue will be face to face at the scene of a tragedy at the station square.
Toho will be releasing “SP: The Motion Picture - Yabou-hen” (Ambition Chapter) in Japan on October 30, 2010. Kakumei-hen (Revolution Chapter) will follow sometime in 2011.
