“11 Rebels” Theatrical Poster
Director Kazuya Shiraishi, who is perhaps best known for 2018’s The Blood of Wolves and 2019’s Sea of Revival, is back with a vengeance in Toei’s 11 Rebels, starring Takayuki Yamada (Gintama) and Taiga Nakano (Under the Open Sky).
Amidst the Boshin War’s brutal conflicts, a motley samurai squad undertakes a desperate defense of a fortress, their heroic stand triggered by clashing interests of the Shibata clan, shogunate, and new government.
11 Rebels is a period action film based on a forgotten script by late screenwriter Kasahara Kazuo, known for his work on series including Japanese Yakuza (1964-1971) and Battles Without Honor And Humanity (1973-1974), via Deadline.
The film hits domestically on November 1, 2024. We expect this one to get a U.S. release in some shape or form. For now, we leave you with its New Trailer (via FCS):
