Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan is a 2009 memoir by Jake Adelstein of his years living in Tokyo as the first non-Japanese reporter working for one of Japan's largest newspapers, Yomiuri Shinbun.[1][2]
After trying and failing to have the book published in Japan, it was published by Random House and Pantheon Books.[3] Adelstein wrote in 2013 that: "The book is translated into Japanese but no publisher will touch it. It steps on too many toes."[4]
Film adaptation
In August 2013 a film adaptation of the memoir was announced.[2] Adelstein co-wrote the story for the film version of Tokyo Vice with American playwright J.T. Rogers, and Rogers then wrote the screenplay.[5][6]
Anthony Mandler will direct the film, with John Lesher and Adam Kassan serving as producers, and Binn Jakupi serving as an executive producer.[5]
In 2013, the film was expected to begin filming in Tokyo in mid-2015, with Daniel Radcliffe set to play Adelstein.[7][8][9][10]
