The 13 Assassins Banner
The lucky 13
Announced this week as the closing film for the genre loving Fantastic Fest, 13 Assassins is to be unsheathed from the devilishly excessive Japanese Director Takeshi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition).
Warriors come face to face.
Prepare to die with honour!
Here is a synopsis from the Fantastic Fest website:
“The noble samurai Shinzaemon Shimada is secretly commissioned to assassinate the evil Lord Naritsugu after his bloody rise to power. Assembling an elite group of samurai, Shinzaemon plots to ambush the Lord on his annual journey home from Edo. The courageous samurai know it’s a suicide mission because the Lord is closely protected by a deadly entourage led by Shinzaemon’s nemesis, the ruthless Hanbei. To capture Lord Naritsugu, Shinzaemon and his skilled samurai transform a mountain village into an intricate death trap. But when the Lord finally arrives, the assassins discover they are outnumbered fifteen to one. The day has come for our 13 fearless assassins to face death in a monumental battle of fiery explosions, showers of arrows and clashing swords.”
Johnny D already has his sharpening stone out and is feverishly shaving layers of metal from his Hanzo sword. Making sure it's sharp enough to hack the limbs off any who fail to worship at Sensei Miike’s feet.
Below is the Japanese Language trailer (no subtitles) which shows the sumptuous visual style and shogunate atmosphere pulsing with impending battle.
Sadly, there is no international release date available at this time.
