Post New Miike
It seems like Miike should have his own thread here at SB. He churns out a new movie every other month it seems like. Anyways his latest seems to be a Samurai ere take on The Dirty Dozen titled 13 Assassins! That bit of info is enough to have me sold. The range of films Miike can direct and direct well is astounding. Who else is stoked for this one?

Miike can do the best and the worst... But I'm a fan.

So would that be a remake thrash version of Seven Samurai ?

After Yatterman & Crows Zero 2, Takashi Miike will be remaking 13 Assassins, a chambara originally directed by Eiichi Kudo in 1963, which was about a group of assassins hired unofficially by the government to kill the annoying brother of the Shogun. Revealing the hypocrisy of this society. Watch the trailer!

The shooting will begin in July, and the production company (HanWay Films) will be at Cannes this week to introduce the film to potential buyers.

Kudo’s 13 Assassins was criticized in Japan, said to be just a rip-off of the Seven Samurai. Somewhere between an influence and an unofficial remake? Let’s see what will do the director behind Izo & Sukiyaki Western Django!


The Thirteen Assassins (1963, Eiichi Kudo)

Miike is also working on Zebraman 2!
