Actor and action star Tak Sakaguchi’s proliferation continues no less than Thursday’s unveiling of an official poster for Crazy Samurai Musashi. The official release date in Japan will be on August 21, whereby fans of the action star can undoubtedly expect to hear more on the film’s progression in the international circuit through 2021.
Otakus and cinema fans alike who’d been hoping to take a gander at Takashi Miike’s live action adaptation, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable – Chapter 1, are in luck with Tuesday’s newly-announced release of the film on Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack.
Netflix is announcing an all-new original series with Alice In Borderland, based on Haro Aso’s popular manga reteaming Kingdom star and director, actor Kento Yamazaki and celebrated director Shinsuke Sato. Also starring is actress Tao Tsuchiya who last paired with Sato for 2015’s Library Wars: The Last Mission.
It remains to be seen when exactly we’ll see some acquisition news regarding Miike Takashi’s second of two anime adaptations this summer, JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable. Apart from that, all one needs to know is that the reactions have all but largely fared well by those who’ve managed to spy an eye on the spooky live-action fantasy horror treatment of Araki Hirohiko’s longstanding anime about a high school student’s journey of self-discovery amid epic battles with “stand users” that soon start to affect the quiet town of Morioh.
Miike Takashi is well on the way with his latest, Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure hitting screens in Japan this August. Indeed, the story does reach some seriously bizzare and weird points which makes a guy like Miike such a fitting director as he has a knack for approaching oddities at great depth on film.
Such is what we now get in his latest follow-up from working on recent titles like Yakuza Apocalypse and Terra Formars and the forthcoming Blade Of The Immortal which opens in April. For this, it’s off to the finish line with the first official teaser now making thïe rounds from Warner Bros. Japan with actor Yamazaki Kento leading the cast for the film, inspired by Diamond Is Unbreakable arc in Araki Hirohiko’s hit manga series.
SYNOPSIS:
In the fictional town of Moriou, Josuke Higashikata is the illegitimate son of Joseph Joestar. He possess a Stand (super power), called Crazy Diamond, that allows him to restore or fix broken objects or animals. Josuke and his friends go to war with other Stand users.
That war, stemmed from a long and ongoing battle years prior, is ignited by an elusive killer and the owner of a mystical bow and arrow to which you know what happens if you’ve read the manga or seen the anime. And so with the teaser, there isn’t much to see on the VFX end with five months to go, though I’d count on an official trailer to help lend us a glimpse into what the battling Stands will look like.
For now, you get a quick glimpse of Miike’s vision for the very town in which our adventure commences with a cast that also adds Iseya Yusuke in the role of Kujo Jotaro, Kamiki Ryunosuke as Hirose Koichi and actress Komatsu Nana as Yamagishi Yukako with Okada Masaki and Mackenyu as the Nijimura Brothers – Keicho and Okuyasu, and Yamada Takayuki as Angelo.
Catch the teaser below as well as the glistening new poster and stay tuned for more updates!
