Official trailer for BUNRAKU, which comes out this September in the US.
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.
