A Tokyo-based motion picture company is poised to take on Hollywood with a live-action cop film that was a hit in Japan this summer.
Toho Co., the nation's largest movie producer, announced in September that it will release "Odoru Daisosasen the Movie 2" ("Bayside Shakedown 2") overseas.
The film, which has been seen by more than 12 million people since its July 19 release, will be spruced up for foreign audiences. The timing and locations of its release have not yet been settled.
