Liv Morgan‘s mysterious movie role has been revealed.
According to a new report from Deadline, she is set to star in legendary horror filmmaker Takashi Miike’s next movie.
Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo, will see Morgan — a noted horror fan — star alongside Shun Oguri (Godzilla v. Kong) and Lily James (Pam and Tommy). The film is written by Daisuke Tengan, who worked with Miike before, and wrote both Audition and 13 Assassins.
The movie will be based on the 1992 neo-noir crime film Bad Lieutenant, which was directed by Abel Ferrara. That film starred Harvey Keitel, Victor Argo, and Paul Calderón. The film follows the story of a corrupt officer trying to pay off gambling debts by catching a pair of criminals.
A 2009 film starring Nicolas Cage, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, shares the name of the IP. Althought he projects share names, it is not related to the original, and just shares the concept of a corrupt cop.
Miike’s film is about the Bad Lieutenant (Oguri), who finds himself thrust into mystery after an FBI agent (James) arrives in Tokyo. Morgan will play the role of a politician’s daughter who has gone missing.
