BUNRAKU: JOSH HARTNETT & DIRECTOR GUY MOSHE INTERVIEW

Some films defy easy description--so rather than even try, I'm going to let Josh Hartnett do it for me. He seems to have it down, and looks better in glasses than me, too. What I can tell you about "BUNRAKU," which premiered Saturday night at the Toronto Film Festival in the Midnight Madness slot, is that it features a great cast--including Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Ron Perlman, and Kevin McKidd--and is set in a future that feels influenced by comic books, film noir, and kung fu...among other elements. Hartnett stars as an Eastwood-ish gunslinger (sans gun, as firearms are banned) who breezes into town to take down Perlman's evil Woodcutter. I'll let Hartnett take it from there, as I caught him and writer-director Guy Moshe the day after the big premiere.

Who knew Josh Hartnett was still such a heart throb? The 32-year-old actor made young girls' hearts go all aflutter in his roles in 40 Days and 40 Nights and the blockbuster Pearl Habour.

Since then, however, Hartnett has been drawn to darker, more serious fare, whether it's Sin City or The Black Dahlia. Those roles, many may have thought, put his dreamboat days in his rearview.

But at the premiere Saturday night of Bunraku, many young women were screaming his name with the sort of abandon rarely seen outside a slumber party in the hopes of grabbing Hartnett's attention. Standing there in the rain, they were going wild for just the chance to get even a glimpse of the actor. He's still got it.
