Teo Yoo leads Lionsgate’s futuristic action thriller from director Takashi Doscher, with John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski executive producing.
There’s no stopping the work that needs to be done and that’s being put to the test in Lionsgate’s upcoming early-year thriller with KARŌSHI. Following the studio’s success with The Furious, another film that shook theaters earlier this year, this new film looks to double down on its roster of action-packed movies.
In addition to the new trailer, the official poster was also revealed along with new images. Check them out down below!
The film’s logline reads: “KARŌSHI is an action-thriller set in a near-future Manhattan, where corporate loyalty and cultural tradition have reshaped everyday life. When a mysterious outsider infiltrates a powerful company after a worker’s death, he exposes the violent system hidden beneath its polished surface.”
From the trailer, KARŌSHI feels very much like a mix between John Wick with some bits of Cyberpunk. However, that shouldn’t come as a surprise as Chad Stahelski, the mind behind that celebrated franchise, is also a part of this upcoming film. The film’s director, Takashi Doscher, is a relative newcomer to the scene, but viewers can still expect that high-octane action in early 2027.
The full cast of KARŌSHI includes Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Takehiro Hira, Bill Camp, Show Kasamatsu, with Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo. Chad Stahelski, Jason Spitz, Alex Young, and Nathan Kahane executive produce.
KARŌSHI releases in theaters on February 5, 2027.
