Tokyo Vice Cast and Creators Reveal What’s Ahead on Season 2

With the first two episodes of Season 2 now streaming on Max, Collider's Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to sit down for an extended interview with the cast and creatives behind Max's '90s noir series Tokyo Vice at the SCAD TV festival in Atlanta. Stars Ken Watanabe, Ansel Elgort, Rachel Keller, and Shôw Kasamatsu join series creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers and director and executive producer, Alan Poul to discuss how they bring the streets of '90s Japan to life and what fans can expect in Season 2. Inspired by the true account of American journalist Jake Adelstein, Tokyo Vice introduced viewers to a neon-washed world of the criminal underbelly of Tokyo in Season 1. We met Jake (Elgort), a determined young journalist who teamed up with Detective Hiroto Katagiri (Watanabe) to uncover a dangerous story about a deadly crime boss. In Season 2, Adelstein gets swept up in the underworld once again and realizes just how much is on the line this time. Check out the full interview in the video above, or you can read the transcript below where Elgort and Keller share the crash courses they took to learn the skills necessary for their roles, like learning Japanese and journalism. They talk about working with Michael Mann, filming in rural Japan to capture the aesthetic of the period, what they're most excited for fans to see this season, and tons more. #TokyoVice #AnselElgort #KenWatanabe For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
