Gackt to star alongside Josh Hartnett in "Bunraku"

Photobucket

The film is set in a hyperstylized universe a la “Sin City” and draws from a mixed bag of genres, including puppets, origami, comic books, video games and German expressionism. It follows a drifter (Hartnett) who teams with a samurai (Gackt) to take on an Eastern European gang lord, played by Perlman (”Hellboy”).

“I’ve always loved movies in the ‘no-name stranger coming to town and ending up in a bigger struggle (genre),’ ” Snoot’s Keith Calder said. “I think this is an opportunity to take this genre and spin it on its head and bring a unique and strong visual style to it.”

  1. So far a release date of June 18 is tentative for Turkey, there is no world-wide release date as yet for the film.

  2. Yes I'm aware of this. I just put it up to give some idea of when it will be released (as of now). I'll add it's the Turkey release date.
