Liv Morgan will be having some time off from WWE television
as she has been cast in a new movie titled Bad Lieutenant:
Tokyo according to Deadline.
Morgan stars alongside Shun Oguri and Lily James in this
movie, directed by Takashi Miike, the man behind the 13
Assassins film.
The film will be a U.S.-Japan co-production, produced by
Jeremy Thomas for Recorded Picture Company, Sam Pressman for
Pressman Film, Naoaki Kitajima for Nippon TV and Misako Saka
for OLM. Neon will be releasing the film theatrically in the
United States and it will be shopped for an international
release at Cannes later this month.
According the Deadline, the plot revolves around the Bad
Lieutenant (Oguri), who is a corrupt gambler in the
Metropolitan Police Force, who finds himself thrown into a
tangled case after an enigmatic FBI agent (James) arrives in
Tokyo to investigate the disappearance of a politician’s
daughter (Morgan).
Production will kick off this month in Tokyo, Japan.
Morgan is currently one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team
champions with Raquel Rodriguez.
