travale: I saw this movie called ‘Bunraku’ recently and was really inspired by the composition and colour lighting in it. So I took some screencaps for myself and thought to share them since you all seemed to enjoy the Nocturna ones I posted a while back. This does a great job of capturing the unique look of BUNRAKU. The film is available on Bluray and DVD right now in the US. Bunraku on Bluray Bunraku on DVD High-res

We have launched an official tumblelog for BUNRAKU. The blog will be updated with cool photographs and behind-the-scenes content every day until after the film has been released. Check it out!

At midnight last night, Colin Geddes (the illustrious film festival programmer) announced via the Midnight Madness twitter feed that BUNRAKU will be premiering as an official selection of the Midnight Madness section at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. I am hugely honored to be returning to the film festival that launched my producing career in 2006 with the premiere of ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE. Hopefully I’ll see some of you in Toronto this September! High-res

Aint It Cool - Quint's 2010 Preview Part 3!

Quint at Aint it Cool has included BUNRAKU in the third part of his great 2010 movie preview.  Fun to see our movie included, even though we have been keeping the production very secretive.

I went to Romania to visit the set of this movie a while back. It was a fun trip and all the people working on the movie were really cool… that said, I have no idea what it’s going to look like. It’s a highly stylized revenge tale. Think Sin City crossed with a Stephen Chow film crossed with a Leone movie and you’re close, I think. There’s American western imagery, Hong Kong action and a bizarre, but cool cast assembled. Josh Hartnett is the revenge-hungry drifter, Ron Perlman is the mountain man-ish heavy, Kevin McKidd is the assassin in a suit, Woody Harrelson is the bartender (Woody!), Demi Moore and Japanese musician turned actor Gackt. With all the different influences this movie could be the equivalent of mashing all your vegetables in with your meat and potatoes or it could be the next great thing that is imitated for a decade. Either way I’m interested.
