北野武ぼやく！　「アウトレイジ ビヨンド」初日舞台あいさつ２

The opening day stage greeting for director Takeshi Kitano's latest film, "Outrage Beyond," was held in Tokyo on October 6th, and after the screening, director Kitano and his stellar cast appeared on stage. As each person gave their own name to a character from the film to describe the film's tagline, "Who is the worst villain?", director Kitano pointed out the production companies, "TV Tokyo and Warner Bros." He lamented, "We had to promote it so much that I wondered why we had to do so much comedy, even though it's a yakuza film. We had (Tomokazu) Miura and everyone else appear on variety shows and do things that had absolutely nothing to do with yakuza films (wry smile)."

Also appearing on stage for the greeting were Toshiyuki Nishida, Tomokazu Miura, Ryo Kase, Katsunori Takahashi, and Kenta Kiritani. Nishida, who delivered a powerful, angry voice in this film, recalled, "It felt like I was at the gym, and it was so refreshing." Takahashi, who engaged in a gunfight, revealed behind-the-scenes details, saying, "I fired more bullets than I've fired in my 20 years since my debut." "Outrage Beyond" is set five years after the previous film, "Outrage" (2010). The fierce uprising against the ruling elite should have concluded, but the police begin to take action, seeking to eliminate the yakuza. The man who was used was Otomo, a man who was supposed to be dead. Before long, the seeds of deception and betrayal begin to smolder, developing into a huge conflict between Kanto and Kansai... This is how it unfolds. Beat Takeshi (director Kitano), who played Otomo, as well as Miura and Kase, continue to appear in the film from the previous series, and Nishida, Takahashi, Kiritani and others have joined the cast for the first time.
