THE PREMIERE
Afro Samurai: Resurrection is the feature-length sequel to the hit animated series, which uniquely blends ancient Eastern legends with futuristic tech and blaxploitation styling to create one of the coolest, most original and bloodiest animated films ever made. Set several years after the events in the first Afro Samurai, Resurrection sees the bad-ass assassin with the insane hair-do forced out of retirement to face a deadly female samurai. Bloody retribution by the sword is unavoidable. With a heavyweight Hollywood voice cast, including Samuel L Jackson, Lucy Liu and Mark Hamill, an incredible soundtrack by legendary hip-hop producer The RZA (of the Wu-Tang Clan) and distinctive animation, the Afro Samurai series has an edginess and cult popularity that other animations can only dream about.
