Also, a movie that you may not have heard about that caught my eye. 47 Ronin is a movie based on the true Japanese story of the 47 ronin. The story is about a band of samurai that honorably avenge the death of their master, even though the consequence could mean death. The movie's focus on a Japanese historical story and it's inclusion of samurai appeals to me personally, and is an interesting subject to make a movie on.
What sticks out about this movie though is that the filmmakers are taking chances, and changing things up. Instead of casting well-known actors that will be recognized in America, the cast consists almost entirely of Japanese actors, for a more "authentic" feel. The movie will put a fantastical spin on the tale, placing the story in "a world of witches and giants" according to LA Times Geoff Boucher.
The film, directed by Carl Erik Rinsch, was given a 170 million dollar budget by Universal despite the director's lack of feature film experience. The Hollywood reporter describes the film as "large-scale, downright risky". It will be interesting to see how this film turns out and whether it succeeds; because filmmakers have somewhat gone out on a limb, and tried something different. The movie is to be released in theaters December 25, 2013.
