Independent British distributors G2 Pictures will release on Blu-ray Guy Moshe's Bunraku (2010), starring Woody Harrelson, Josh Hartnett, Ron Perlman and Demi Moore. The film premiered last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. Street date is October 3.
Using cutting-edge visuals and heart-pounding fight choreography, Bunraku combines comic-books, spaghetti westerns, samurai films, video-games, and more into a stunning glimpse at an alternate future. In a world without guns, a mysterious drifter (Josh Hartnett) walks into a strange town terrorized by the ruthless Nicola (Ron Perlman) and his army of thugs, headed by nine deadly assassins including the vicious Killer #2 (Kevin McKidd). The drifter is forced to trust a young samurai (Japanese superstar Gackt) looking to restore his family's honor, and the local bartender (Woody Harrelson) who has been secretly awaiting a dream team to help overthrow Nicola's tyrannical regime.
