Riko Narumi’s comedic lead in cop comedy ‘Tsumi Toka Batsu Toka’

After trying the comedy trade in the NTV comedy series Enka no joō last year young actress Riko Narumi will get her first lead role in a comedic feature film titled Tsumi Toka Batsu Toka. Filming for the feature film has already wrapped up and we should expect to see this film in Spring of 2009. I only mention this because Riko Narumi also has a role in Naoto Takenaka’s zom-com Yamagata Scream, a film we’ve spoken about here before. His film is also due out in 2009.
The premise for Tsumi Toka Batsu Toka; Narumi is an unsuccessful idol who takes on the role of “police chief for a day,” a common PR opportunity for budding talents. But when a robbery takes place at a local convenience store, she actually attempts to resolve the incident.
Keralino Sandorovich will be directing the film. His page on Eigapedia cites that he is best known for his nonsense comedies, having been inspired by the British comedy troupe Monty Python. His hair alone in that profile picture is enough to keep me interested. Wacky.
