The UK branch of Warner Brothers has released an official trailer for director Lee Sang-il's remake of Clint Eastwood's classic western Unforgiven (1992). Yurusarezaru mono stars Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai), Jun Kunimura (Ichi the Killer), and Kôichi Satô (Gonin). The film will open in cinemas across the country on February 28th.
Official synopsis: Lee Sang-il writes and directs this Japanese remake starring Ken Watanabe. Set in 19th-century Hokkaido during the Meiji era, the film follows swordsman Jubei Kamata (Watanabe) who killed many rebels while working for the now collapsed Tokugawa shogunate, gaining a reputation as a fearful assassin. With the new government looking for him, Jubei disappears. For ten years he lives a quiet life in isolation along with his wife and children but as they struggle to survive Jubei agrees to take up work as a bounty hunter, despite having promised never to engage in violence again. Along with an old friend, Kingo Baba (Akira Emoto), Jubei tracks down samurai Sanosuke (Yukiyoshi Ozawa), who has disfigured a prostitute, hoping that he will be able to provide a better life for his family with the reward money. Will his mission be a success?
