TBS and WOWOW will work together for the drama remake of 2002 hit HK movie "Infernal Affairs" which featured Tony Leung and Andy Lau. TBS will handle the drama "Double Face Sennyuu Sousa Hen" (Double Face Infiltration Investigation Version) which stars Nishijima Hidetoshi as Moriya Jun, a police officer who infiltrates a gang in order to destroy it i.e. Tony Leung's role while WOWOW's version is "Double Face Gisou Keisatsu Hen" (Double Face Fake Police Version) which stars Kagawa Teruyuki as Takayama Ryosuke, a gangster who becomes a policeman and leaks information to his gang i.e. Andy Lau's role. When both men realise the real identities of the other party after a drug deal, they get embroiled in a struggle because of their conflicting stands. Both dramas are due to be shown in mid October and Nishijima and Kagawa will appear in both versions. Their co-stars in both dramas will be Ito Atsushi who plays a junior gang member Hiroshi while Aoi Yu will play the daughter of a powerful politician who associates with Takayama.
