Yesterday Eric gave you a look at BUNRAKU, featuring the new poster and a bunch of stills. It looks to be very much in the spirit of SIN CITY, mixing martial arts, vibrant scenery and an interesting cast of characters.
The official trailer has been released; way back in February a teaser trailer hit and finally we have the full length one. If you weren’t sure what to think of this baby then, well this new trailer probably wont clear anything up.
This sports quite the cast too including Josh Harnett, Ron Perlman, Demi Moore (below), Kevin McKidd, Gackt, and Woody Harrelson.
A mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett) and an ardent young Japanese warrior Yoshi (Gackt) both arrive in a town that has been terrorized by outrageous and virulent criminals. Each is obsessed with his separate mission, and guided by the wisdom of The Bartender (Woody Harrelson) at the Horseless Horseman Saloon, the two eventually join forces to bring down the corrupt and contemptuous reign of Nicola (Ron Perlman), the awesomely evil “woodcutter” and his lady Alexandra (Demi Moore), a femme fatale with a secret past. This classic tale is re-vitalized and re-imagined in an entirely fresh visual context, set in a unique world that mixes skewed reality with shadow-play fantasy, a place where even the landscape can betray you. Heroes triumph here only because the force of their will transforms and transcends both space and time.
BUNRAKU is hitting VOD on the 1st of September, and then it goes to theaters of the 30th. Scope out the trailer below!
