News and Info on the film BUNRAKU

Source: BUNRAKU BLOG - May. 15th, 2009

Bunraku is a typical film, in that it took an average 3 months for principal photography, and a year of post-production, this film has a lot of computer graphics (it is supposed to have the look of Sin City) so a summer release '09 was always a hopeful deadline, plus the current economic situation may have changed things.

While Bunraku has been labeled a 'Hollywood production' because it is US based (backing not location shooting) it is really an Independent film. A lot also depends on distribution contracts whether we will see it in theaters or direct to DVD, which will vary by country.

Either way............I can't wait to see it!

Smooches!

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.
