New teaser for Takashi Miike’s Yakuza Apocalypse starring Yayan Ruhian

A couple of months ago we were treated to a 30 second tease of Takashi Miike's new gangster vampire film, YAKUZA APOCALYPSE: THE GREAT WAR OF THE UNDERWORLD, and now we have an appropriately insane new teaser trailer that highlights the colorful insanity of Miike’s new film. Ichihara Hayato stars alongside THE RAID's Yayan Ruhian as a Yakuza underling that discovers his boss is a bloodsucker, only to get bitten himself before going up against a gang of deadly international assassins. Dig it!

Here's the synopsis:

Akira (Hayato Ichihara) admires Genyo Kamiura, who is the most powerful Yakuza. Genyo Kamiura has been targeted numerous times but has never died. He is called the invincible person. Because of Genyo Kamiura, Akira enters the world of the Yakuza. His colleagues treat him like an idiot; Akira can't even get tattoos because of his sensitive skin. Akira becomes disappointed in the Yakuza world because it's not like what they say in the movies, especially in terms of loyalty and charity depicted of the Yakuza. An assassin is then sent to take out Genyo Kamiura, whom the killers know is a vampire.

The film was scripted by Yoshitaka Yamaguchi and stars Yayan Ruhian (The Raid) and Hayato Ichihara (All About Lily Chou-Chou).
