Film adaptation
In August 2013 a film adaptation of the memoir was announced. Adelstein co-wrote the story for the film version of Tokyo Vice with American playwright J.T. Rogers, and Rogers then wrote the screenplay.
Anthony Mandler will direct the film, with John Lesher and Adam Kassan serving as producers, and Binn Jakupi serving as an executive producer.
In 2013, the film was expected to begin filming in Tokyo in mid-2015, with Daniel Radcliffe set to play Adelstein.
