Kaneshiro to be cast in Onimusha film

By Ben | Thursday, May 1, 2008 | 4 Comments

2159392121 85798fe5cc Kaneshiro to be cast in Onimusha film

The Onimusha series for Sony’s Playstation 2 has had a wide following including the fan girls of Takeshi Kaneshiro. And it seems that with the movie in pre-production status currently, there are few things that we know except for the fact that the protagonist Samanosuke Akechi, will indeed be played by Kaneshiro.

Considering the fact that Samanosuke’s character design was entirely based on Kaneshiro, it was the obvious choice to have this actor play the live-action part. On top of that, Christopher Gans, of the film Silent Hill fame, will be directing. I personally found Silent Hill to be one of the few movies that could stand up to the whole wishy-washy effect of “game to big screen” cheesiness.

Hoping that with Kaneshiro’s fan base, and Gans directing, there will be a lot more people that don’t know the storyline to actually go see this movie. Currently slated for December of 2009.

ONIMUSHA MOVIE IS ON HOLD.

Silent Hill producer Samuel Hadida has put Onimusha on hold because the death of actor Heath Ledger so if gives the production team of Onimusha to rework on the plot
to follow the storyline to Onimusha Warlords game,The cast and film producers will be all Asian expect for Samuel Hadida and Christophe Gans will helm the film.
Onimusha is a Japanese,Chinese and French co-production.
The film Onimusha will be filmed in Japan so all the Japanese and Chinese cast will star and the special effects will be done by some Hollywood companies.
Thank you.

Great casting. Kaneshiro is really good looking and he's really one cross culture star. Can't wait to see it.
