MVM just sent us some nice clips of their new live-action movie Dororo
Based on the enduring 1960s manga series by the legendary Osamu Tezuka and its subsequent anime television series adaptation, DORORO finally gets a big-budget, big-screen treatment as a live-action feature starring Japanese singing and acting superstar Kou Shibasaki (Memories Of Matsuko; One Missed Call; Battle Royale) in the title role.
Directed by Akihiko Shiota (Canary; Harmful Insect), co-starring Satoshi Tsumabuki (The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift), Eita (Memories Of Matsuko) and Anna Tsuchiya (Sakuran; Kamikaze Girls), and featuring action choreography by Hong Kong action maestro Siu-Tung Ching (Curse Of The Golden Flower; House Of Flying Daggers; Hero), this epic, supernatural fantasy proved to be a major box office smash in Japan, topping the movie charts for an unprecedented six consecutive weeks.
++ DORORO (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by MVM Entertainment on 7th September 2009.
