Renowned cult Japanese filmmaker Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Tokyo Fist) is prepping his latest project, Zan (translates to Kill), a samurai film that stars Yu Aoi (Rurouni Kenshin) and Sosuke Ikematsu (Mozu: The Movie).
We don’t much as far as plot details, but given Tsukamoto’s shocking body of work (to quote Kyle Warner: “Shinya Tsukamoto is, at his core, a horror filmmaker… Tokyo Fist is not a horror film, but it’s clear it was made by a horror director.”), we can expect a samurai tale that’s probably not for the squeamish.
Zan hits Japan on November 24, 2018. A U.S. release is inevitable.
