After a string of trailers featuring the same material over and over again it is good to finally get our hands on a new trailer with new footage we haven't seen yet. It's there, you just gotta look for it.
Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645) was an unrivaled swordsman in the days when internal wars in Japan had virtually ended. Nevertheless, he wrote a master treatise on military strategy, The Book of Five Rings and sought "the way" to enlighten his spirit and cultivate his mind. But could this image have been manufactured by the generations that followed...? Mamoru Oshii will take on an unusual portrayal of this legendary and aloof warrior, between spectacular duels and a tragic life in pursuit of greatness. With The Book of Five Rings as his guide, Oshii will unsheathe the true vision of the greatest swordsman in Japanese history! Medieval chivalry, horsemanship, swordsmanship and the essence of The Book of Five Rings will be pure entertainment!Production I.G.
I'm not crazy about the kooky CG stuff in these trailers. I hope there isn't too much of that in it. We'll find out once reports come in when it opens on June 13th!
Thanks Brian!
The video quality leaves a lot to be desired. Screen tearing everywhere. But that looks like a pretty sweet movie. Except for the strangely anachronistic music, though.
the funky samisen was nice haha
Some parts here look kind of weird but I have a lot of expectations in this.
