An age-old battle between the Japanese yakuza and the Korean mafia is interrupted by a shark in Charon, Screen Daily reports.

In the film, a brutal clash between the Japanese yakuza and Korean mafia breaks out on a ship before being interrupted by an even greater predator — the great white shark — as the trapped, bloodied and hunted survivors fight for their lives.
Japan’s mur mur Studio is producing, with filming is currently underway between Taiwan, Kitakyushu, and Okinawa.
After production wraps, the movie will undergo extensive visual effects work. It’s expected to be ready for release in 2027.
Paris-based outfit Charades will launch sales at the upcoming American Film Market in Los Angeles.
