Com on. Gack loox juss liek Mikkal Jaxon -- juz like Kozi look liek Maryln Mansen! ::kisaki::

Kozi/Manson sounds a lot hotter than Gackt/MJ
It brings up interesting thoughts.

Guys, the girl's a european celebrity, and for some reason european celebrities always have a knowledge of US pop-culture that dates back to ten to fifteen years previous and never, it seems, anything recent. :P Who cares about michael jackson?

Europeans, duh ;)

XD I don't mean, for instance, europeans in general, but it's like every time I see some european star on TV they're always talking about or referencing to something that happened in the mid nineties and I'm just sitting there like, "Where have you been the past 12 years? :| "

It's that sort of thing. ::kisaki::

Is the movie going to be shown only at the TIFF, or will it be available for actual consumption? :D

Here's a very interesting video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3sgSfknysU
Ron Perlman, Guy Moshe (the director), Kevin McKidd and Josh Hartnett comment on the movie and inbetween are actual scenes from the movie. I think it looks very interesting and especially the visual aspect looks extremely intriguing.

All the reports I've read up untill now have only been really positive as well.

Btw, I believe this movie will be shown in cinema's in 2011.

I don't usually make fun of people's Japanese pronunciation, but I'm going to make an exception for how that reporter lady pronounced "bunraku" ::meev::

Still have no idea what the movie's supposed to be about though XD

trying to be cool like Közi
^I came across pretty detailed summary at the site where I found the movie stills ( http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/movie/bunraku/ )

"A mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett) and an ardent young Japanese warrior Yoshi (Gackt) both arrive in a town that is terrorized by outrageous and virulent criminals. Each is obsessed with his separate mission, and guided by the wisdom of The Bartender (Woody Harrelson) at the Horseless Horseman Saloon, the two eventually join forces to bring down the corrupt and contemptuous reign of Nicola (Ron Perlman), the awesomely evil "woodcutter" and his lady Alexandra (Demi Moore), a femme fatale with a secret past. This classic tale is re-vitalized and re-imagined in an entirely fresh visual context, set in a unique world that mixes skewed reality with shadow-play fantasy, a place where even the landscape can betray you. Heroes triumph here only because the force of their will transforms and transcends both space and time. The world of BUNRAKU is past and present, fantasy and reality, Samurai and Western all combined. Like "Sin City" and "300", it gives classic conflict a whole new graphically supercharged dynamic. Resonating through a wide range of cultures and showcasing a mind-blowing array of martial arts disciplines, BUNRAKU is a fresh arena for breath-taking fight action."

I think it could potentially be cool, honestly.


EDIT: When I read "and his lady Alexandra " I first read it as 'Lady Gaga'. Haha!
