Japanese idol Tomohisa Yamashita stars in bloody Antarctic chiller 'The Head'

Japan Times -- Oct 16

Japanese idol Tomohisa Yamashita is to star in a chilling new thriller set in the Antarctic called "The Head".

A clip from the series — co-created by Ran Tellem of “Homeland” fame — was shown Tuesday at MIPCOM, the world’s biggest entertainment market in Cannes.

The show’s international cast includes Irish actor John Lynch, who is one of two survivors of 10 people left to “winter” at a research base.

When scientists return in the spring they find the walls covered in blood and the two survivors blaming each other for the murders.

Yamashita, a 35-year-old singer and actor who is widely known as Yamapi, plays an investigator.
