original title : Takeshi Kaneshiro to Star in Japanese Movie 'Accuracy of Death'
Japanese-Taiwanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro will be seen in his first Japanese film since the patchy sci-fi gReturnerh in 2002, but unfortunately it wonft be that mooted Onimusha movie. Instead hefll be starring in an adaptation of Isaka Kotarofs novel gShinigami no Seidoh (Accuracy of Death), about a music-loving death god named Chiba who spends seven days with humans to determine whether theyfre worthy candidates for the chop. He always wears white gloves, spends his spare time listening to music in CD shops, and has never seen a blue sky because it rains wherever he goesc which makes it sound a lot closer to gCity of Angelsh than gDeath Noteh.
Other cast members announced so far are Yakusho Kojifs girlfriend in eRetributionf, Manami Konishi (owner of the most unsettling spider-like eyes in Japanese showbiz), Ishida Takuya, Mitsuishi Ken and Terajima Shinobufs mum, Fuji Sumiko. Directing is Kakehi Masaya, an up-and-comer whose gCanned Beautiesh (Bijokan) was one of Jasper Sharpfs faves of 2003. That filmfs also worth noting for a rare cameo by gFirefly Dreamsh and gStarfish Hotelh director John Williams.
@@
Nippon Television is producing, and Warner Brothers will distribute the flick nationwide in spring 2008.
