Overview
- The first official trailer was released on Nov. 5, 2026 and confirms Lionsgate has set Karōshi for a Feb. 5, 2027 theatrical bow.
- Takashi Doscher wrote and directed the film, which follows an outsider who infiltrates a powerful company to expose a violent system after a worker’s death.
- The ensemble includes Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Takehiro Hira, Sho Kasamatsu, Bill Camp, Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo as principal cast members.
- Producers Chad Stahelski, Jason Spitz, Alex Young, and Nathan Kahane and stunt teams from 87Eleven with coordinator Jon Kralt are billed as providing practical, John Wick–style action.
- Cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski and the trailer’s minimalist palette frame the movie as a stylized samurai-inflected corporate satire, and its short runtime positions it against several major studio releases on the same weekend.
