Sanpei Shirato's manga "The Legend of Kamui" ("Kamui Gaiden") is getting its first live-action movie. It will be directed by Yoichi Sai, and will star Kenichi Matsuyama in his first true action role.

Shirato's comic about a lone ninja was originally serialized from 1965 to 1967, then from 1982 to 1987. It was turned into an animated series in 1969 and an animated movie two years later. Sai's film will be the first live-action treatment of the work.

The script will be handled by celebrated writer Kankuro Kudo. Filming is scheduled to run from November to February, but the movie will not be released until 2009.

another great casting in a movie! matsuken + itoh + koyuki = :wub:

lilmariah35, thanks again for providing us the link the the teaser.

Matsuyama looks different, but hot as always! I'm anticipating to see another side to his acting. Very versatile actor, never fail to impress me.

One thing that makes this movie more promising is the writer, Kudo Kankuro! other than Kisarazu Cat's Eye movies, I haven't seen his other works in film. But on the drama side, his works have been my favorites. His style is unique but he knows well how to reach into the audience and move them.

I'm really excited to see Hideaki in this!

It's his first time playing a villian.

The majority of his roles have been nice guys, so I'm curious to see how he'll do but since generally he's brilliant, I'm sure this will be no different.

He makes a really hot bad guy too :)
