The Big Picture The two-season arc of Max's sleeper hit series Tokyo Vice has reached its conclusion, and as the storylines set up in Season 1 are pieced together, more doors open that can easily carry us into a potential Season 3. In the ever-evolving streaming world, it's difficult for viewers to trust they'll get another season, but showrunner and writer J.T. Rogers planned ahead.
Release Date April 7, 2022 Cast Ansel Elgort , Ken Watanabe , Rachel Keller , Rinko Kikuchi Main Genre Crime I definitely want to go backwards for a second. Years ago, J.T., you thought about doing this as a movie with Daniel Radcliffe. I was looking online, and I couldn't figure out what exactly happened.
ROGERS: Well, thank you, because a lot of time was spent thinking about how to write it and then how we would shoot it.ROGERS: Many versions. But there's a couple of reasons. One, I think less sex and less violence means better sex and better violence, right? More meaningful. ROGERS: There is no death in the show that doesn't have moral consequences. So, certainly as the greatest, the most impactful death of the whole season, that's gonna be the case.
I think that's also one of the reasons why so many people respond to the show, myself included, is that you're portraying real life rather than the magic of Hollywood, or some procedural that's on network television. POUL: But also, even more than her riding off, to me, what's so delicious about Sam's final beat is that she's clever. She's been through all this horrible shit, but she's able to resurrect the plot that she and the architect cooked up to sell to Ishida before everything went to shit and replay it for Mrs. Tozawa successfully while clutching the briefcase that the architect spilled his brains on.
Now we can say the biggest, most dramatic change, to answer your question, was the building in which Chihara-Kai exists. That building. We always knew, it was a ticking clock in Season 2, that the building was going to be destroyed, and we couldn't get everything done in time. ROGERS: It became, of course, one of the best parts of the whole season, but only to solve this, “Oh my god, there's an instrumental problem. How are we gonna fix it? And we’ve gotta do it in the next month because we’re gonna be shooting there.”
POUL: Because that's a nice hotel, and in order to get in there with 150 people on shoot, we have to buy out three floors of guest rooms in a classy hotel. So obviously, we can only do it for a week.
