CRAZY MUSASHI: Tak Sakaguchi Unleashes The Crazy In A First Teaser

A year and change since director and action stylist Yuji Shimomura teased a first look at longtime friend and cult film star Tak Sakaguchi’s character in Crazy Musashi, a first teaser has finally arrived online. Crazy Musashi marks the latest pairing between Sakaguchi and Shimomura, and producer Ota Takayuki who now launches the project via his newly established WiiBER production banner, thanks in large part to the aid of up to 1000 crowdfunding donors last year. Sakaguchi leads the project, billed as a 77-minute single-take actioner, which sought its long-endured development through a series of changing hands and the actor’s own career troubles with management which nearly led to an early retirement in 2013. Thankfully that language saw a prospective turnabout with Sakaguchi then appearing subsequently in Yuji Shimomura’s CQC thriller, Re:Born, Takahiro Ishihara’s Red Blade and Shinsuke Sato’s Kingdom which graces an event U.S. screening in August.

CRAZY MUSASHI: Sakaguchi Tak’s Long-Awaited ‘Super Genre’ Samurai Actioner Comes Back To Life After Five Years In Limbo

Action star Sakaguchi Tak’s Re:Born still stands as important subject matter of late. His forthcoming appearance at the Iron Dragon TV Action Fest this August is still a headturner and with none other than helmer longtime film partner, stunt multi-hyphenate and film director Shimomura Yuji joining him for the impeding festivities in Austin. Many topics are sure to come up for curious onlookers as the film marks a stellar return to cinema for the cult favorite who shook the fandom with talk of retirement back in 2013. As it stands, that sudden pivot arose as a result of a dissolving toxic fallout with previous management which apparently forced Sakaguchi’s career nearly into obscurity at the time, which makes Re:Born a more than welcome reception at home and overseas.
