Just saw the trailer at apple Link Here there is also a link to the official Miramax site there too. Coming June 4, I can't wait. I hope it isn't one of those limited release things. The only theaters that get those things in AZ are an hour drive from my house.

I'm looking forward to it, but if it's going to be released by Miramax, it won't be released on that date. The date will just get pushed back again and again. You'll have better luck tracking down a Region 2, 3 DVD version of it on eBay when it's released.

Plus, they'll cut it up and probably do a horrible dub. Miramax sux. They've done it before. I mean, where the heck is Shaolin Soccer and Hero? I remember seeing the Shaolin Soccer trailer over a year ago.

And, don't bother looking for these movies on the net to buy, because Miramax put a stop to it. You won't find Hero or Soccer on any Asian DVD website(more of a chance on eBay), even though it completely legal. At least I got Hero on DVD before Miramax came into the picture. What they're doing should be considered illegal.

Wow I'm a huge fan of the old Zatoichi movies from the 60's. (The guy who was in that was the brother of the guy who was Lone WOlf and Cub.) ALso I really like Beat Takeshi ever since i saw Sonatine. I think its gay they release it in america to all the gaijin tho. Especially since i got my cool zatoichi cane-sword off of ebay for 45 bucks.

p.s. did u know most extreme elimination challenge is really called Takeshi's Castle in Japan? Its a funny show but they should really give Beat his props.

DONT GET ELIMINATED!

The Shaolin Soccer site in Miramax isn't even finished (as far as I can tell) plus it says "Coming this summer" If they are not going to release a movie then they shouldn't even buy the rights, I think.

I'm really happy about the Zatoichi news, if it arrives in US then there is even a greater chance of it being released here. And during last year local press did some coverage of the movie, so maybe it could happen.

Shaolin Soccer was supposed to come out last year. It's been delayed numerous times because Miramax is one big ASS.

I thought this movie came out in theaters and was out on tape a few years ago in U.S.. Oh, maybe that was a different Zatoichi. (Though Miramax could release a movie and forget that they did, then repeat.)
