Casshern

[Ninjatron]

It looks like it will be picked up for release.

According to a Japanese language news report, an un-named "major American studio" is in negotiations for distribution rights to the new Japanese live action Casshern movie, along with American re-make rights. There is a possibility that Kiriya Kazuaki, director for the Japanese film, will direct a possible American remake that utilizes his internationally famous J-pop vocalist Hikaru Utada.

That comes from http://www.lelola.net/news.shtml

So not just the the remake, but the original too. I doubt itll get a big theatrical release, but it'll go to DVD, no problemo. Bank on it.

Also check out the trailor for the live action version of the originator of cartoon violence, Devilman!

Anyone seen RETURNER? That's a great film.

Sayonara.
