Takashi Miike: 13 Assassins

Takashi Miike‘s next two movies are samuari based and that gets me pretty excited. The first, 13 Assassins, released April 29th (apple trailer here // UK trailer here), “delivers a bravado period action film set at the end of Japan’s feudal era in which a group of unemployed samurai are enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a wartorn future.” Very much looking forward to seeing this.

The second I don’t know too much about yet, it is currently in post-production; Death of a Samurai, to be released sometime in 2011.
