Tsujii ultimately splits the difference between the two viewpoints, acknowledging that many of the stories are likely fabricated while admitting that there’s no harm in stretching the truth to write good fiction. “Whether the book is true or not, you should take it up with him and the people depicted in the book. “There were so many things that we embellished and created that had nothing to do with, let’s call it ‘the real Jake Adelstein story,’” says executive producer John Lesher. Entertainment value was the top priority, and any truth that happened to make it into the series was just an added bonus. While Adelstein is adamant that the stories are true, the show’s creative team is quick to point out that truth was not top of mind when they were developing the series. “We don’t have any rules like that … for obtaining information it was by any means possible, except buying information is forbidden,” he said. … The Yomiuri was very strict about that kind of thing.”Īdelstein insists the story is true. “In Japan, even the police don’t do real undercover operations it’s basically illegal and evidence can’t be gathered that way, though there have been some legal reforms recently. “There is absolutely no way that a journalist at the Yomiuri would be allowed to go undercover - a journalist wouldn’t even ask their bosses if they could do that,” Tsujii said. ‘Ferrari’ First Look: Adam Driver Is Unrecognizable as Italian Race Car Driver on the Brink
