Considering the positive responses from critics and film festival goers in the last two years who got to see cult director Sono Sion‘s latest bloody action comedy, Why Don’t You Play In Hell, it seems fair to call it a success. Well, it’s about time the film made its way across the pond for a pending limited theatrical release on November 7, 2014 in North America from Drafthouse Films, and to accomodate, a new trailer has gone viral!
There’s a war going on, but that won’t stop the inexperienced but eager wannabe film crew The F*ck Bombers from following their dreams of making the ultimate action epic. Ten years ago, yakuza mid-boss Ikegami led an assault against rival don Muto. Now, on the eve of his revenge, all Muto wants to do is complete his masterpiece, a feature film with his daughter in the starring role, before his wife is released from prison. And The F*ck Bombers are standing by with the chance of a lifetime: to film a real, live yakuza battle to the death… on 35mm! Endlessly irreverent and wildly, hilariously visceral, Why Don’t You Play In Hell? is a Tarantino-esque ode to the yakuza films of yore, and features an over-the-top, blood-soaked finale for the ages.
