The three taglines on the visual read:

 "The man loads nuclear missiles on Japan's first nuclear submarine and disappears into the deep sea."

 "The light is at the bottom of the sea."

 "We must look at this reality."

 

In addition to the previously announced Takao Osawa as the protagonist, Shiro Kaieda, this new clip introduces  more main cast members including:

 

  • Hiroshi Tamaki as Hiroshi Fukamachi, the captain of the Japanese diesel submarine "Tatsunami"
  • Aya Ueto as Hiromi Ichitani, a newscaster who tries to expose a government conspiracy
  • Yosuke Eguchi as Wataru Kaibara, Chief Cabinet Secretary
  • Tomoya Nakamura as Soushi Irie, a Self Defense Force member who was once on the same ship as Kaieda and Fukamachi
  • Aoi Nakamura as Eiji Yamanaka, the Deputy captain of Seabat. Kaieda's right-hand man.

 

Kawaguchi's original manga was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Morning magzine from 1988 to 1996, then compiled in 32 tankobon volumes with a total circulation of 32 million copies (paper and digital). It was previously adapted into a three-chapter OVA series by Sunrise from 1995 to 1998.

 

The live-action film will be produced as an original film for Amazon Prime Video and will also be released theatrically by Toho nationwide in Japan on September 29, 2023. This is the first time Amazon has produced a Japanese theatrical film. Kohei Yoshimoto, whose Haken Anime! received high acclaim last year, is attached to direct. In addition to playing the protagonist, Takao Osawa also produces the film himself.

 

The story begins when the Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine Yamanami is sunk in a maritime accident near Japan. The survival of all 76 crewmembers, including the captain, Commander Shiro Kaieda, was hopeless. However, the crew survived the accident. They had been selected as crew members of a nuclear submarine secretly built by the U.S. and Japan, and the accident was a cover-up story to get them on board Japan's first nuclear submarine.
