Before watching any Miike film, I have the habit of reading what he has to say about it because usually, he gives you the general aim of the film. This time around he didn't point for gore elements like he always does (probably because we all know that he will make it bloody in a satisfying way). He said: "My aim is not to shoot an all-out action film, it’s not action per se that I’m interested in but what comes out of the struggle between the main characters."
This time, he didn't say much but the producer Shinjiro Nishimura gave me a somewhat satisfying answer: "Yakuza are unique to Japan so we combined that with vampire action. Regular people who get bitten become yakuza [sporting tattoos] and overrun the city, while the real gangsters are thrown into chaos."
This is a very original piece (not adapted from any manga, drama or anything) so I really can't wait to see it happening. A yakuza vampire action film and directed by the amazing Takashi Miike no less. Isn't that awesome or what?
This Hip Hop Action Musical sounds like another weird Japanese film I would definitely enjoy. It also got great votes from critics that I trust their judgement.
I watched the trailer and great lord, I can't wait to see Shota rapping,There are also some pretty great names like Kubozuka Takeuchi and Denden. Let's not forget Daito and Sato as well. This will be such a long wait!
As opposed to the people thinking Shin Sung Rok should be the lead, I think he's perfect for the role he has...…
I agree with catnip on this, Akiyama's character wasn't supposed to be attractive, it's supposed to be madly genius and appealing with its deeds not the way it looks.
