I believe the DVD will be released in Japan in March with English subtitles. The film was also shown in the London film festival last November with English subtitles.

Strangly enough I was watching Zatoichi meets the One Armed Swordsman last night, great film.

To me, Shintaro Katsu will always make the best Blind Swordsman but good on Beat for reviving the legend ;)

I posted a link in the Members Lounge a while back but it's good to see a trialer.

Cheers

I've been eager to watch beat's remake ever since I first heard he was making it, like half a year ago.
They showed it at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (with Takeshi Kitano present) last sunday, but I was too late with my ticket reservation :(

I hate the fact that Miramax has the distibution rights to this film for the U.S. :mad:

Miramax usually edit, butcher, and poorly dub the Asian films they buy. Next to that, the release date is June 4th 2004 here. I think I'll fly over to Europe to watch it. I heard this film will blow you away.

Zatoichi is on at the NFT again at the end of this month in London if one cannot wait until the offical release date. You'll most probably get a better crowd at the NFT. More arty / filmy types and not the popcorn louts.

SEEN IT! It played in Japan at the end of summer. Also, be aware that it is not meant to be factual, so see it with the state of mind to have fun with Beat Takeshi! Watch for the Geta tap scene!
