In 2013, the thriller film 'The Terror Live,' directed by Kim Byung-woo and starring Ha Jung-woo, surpassed 5.58 million viewers, and now the Japanese remake, 'The Terror Live: Last Show,' has stirred attention by unveiling a tense main trailer that captures a live broadcast of a terrorist threat for the first time in the country.
The released main trailer starts with a phone consolidation to a radio station on a peaceful day, featuring a voice claiming that 'that guy' has planted a bomb at the Yamato Power Plant. Thinking it was just a prank call, 'Orimoto' (Abe Hiroshi) hangs up with a nonchalant reply of 'Go ahead and try,' but two minutes later, when the actual explosion at the plant is confirmed, he is shown in a state of shock.
Continuing with the unprecedented situation of live coverage of a continuous bombing threat posed by the terrorist, 'Orimoto' (Abe Hiroshi) resolves to seize this opportunity for a comeback, showcasing a calculated yet deeply ingrained 'broadcaster' moment that leads the unfolding events into completely unpredictable territory.
The only negotiator identified by the terrorist, 'Orimoto' (Abe Hiroshi), is the one who can persuade the culprit, and amidst increasingly aggressive provocations, the phrase 'the worst live broadcast begins' raises curiosity about the conclusion.
'The Terror Live: Last Show,' which offers an intense situation and an extreme level of immersion just through the trailer, is expected to emerge as a dark horse that will shake up the domestic box office in April.
As a real-time suspense entertainment film that runs alongside the live broadcast and incident, 'The Terror Live: Last Show' is set to have a solo release at Lotte Cinema on April 16 (Wed).
