"Versus" Japanese Theatrical Poster
Nippon Cinema reports: While promoting his latest movie, No One Lives, director Ryuhei Kitamur mentioned he was planning a sequel to 2000’s Versus sometime next year. Ryuhei even said he’d get Tak Sakaguchi out of retirement to return: “The lead actor is retired, but I’ll get him to make a comeback. He’ll do it if I do it.”
Cityonfire’s Numskull describes the original Versus as “Evil Dead and Bad Taste meet in-your-face combat like only those bloodthirsty Asian film makers can do it.” Joe909, who gave it a perfect score of 10, says it’s “the most enjoyable movie I’ve seen in a long time.”
Stay tuned for more on Versus 2. In the meantime, if you haven’t seen the original, Amazon.com carries it in a variety of formats.
