First Very Brief Trailer for Takashi Miike's Film 'Blade of the Immortal'

Written by

More Miike! A very, very brief teaser trailer has debuted for the latest Takashi Miike film, an adaptation of a manga about an immortal samurai. Blade of the Immortal, originally Mugen no jûnin in Japanese, is about a samurai who has to kill 1000 evil men in order to regain his mortality. Starring Hana Sugisaki, Ebizô Ichikawa, Sôta Fukushi, Hayato Ichihara, Erika Toda, Kazuki Kitamura, Min Tanaka, Takuya Kimura and Tsutomu Yamazaki. Based on the concept (and final shot in this) alone, it reminds me of 13 Assassins, which is one of Miike’s best action movies. I wish there was more to see, but I’m sure we’ll get more trailers before April. No US release is set yet, but hopefully it’ll be out in 2017 in the US, too. ›››
