And I didn't know Miike was re-making Yojimbo, sounds good.
He's actually doing a remake of a spaghetti western from the 60's called Django. Which in turn was inspired by Yojimbo itself.

And Midnight Meat Train sounds awesome, but I don't know if Kitamura is perfect for the director. Having just bought Ultimate Versus here in the US, ya'll know I'm a Kitamura fan, but all his work so far is primarily action based.


I said the same exact thang to myself.
Well actualy I was more like "WTF!!!"
Kitamura is the same asshole who turned Sky High
(A manga about the souls of the dead & the decisions that they make once they reach the crossroads of the afterlife)
Into a shallow movie that revolved mostly around hot chicks in chambara sword fights.
After I thought it over The MEAT TRAIN can't be too bad since Clive Barker himself is on board with the project.
I doubt that he would let Kitamura butcher the story too much.
(Although I never read it so I wouldn't know.)

One things for sure Kitamura knows how to make some dope ass gory death scenes.
