[Updated with fresh details!]

The project is a three way action omnibus titled Sento Shojo.  The star, Japanese pin up girl Yumi Sugimoto. Directing? Noboru Iguchi (Machine Girl), Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police), and Tak Sakaguchi (Be A Man, Samurai School). Now, all three directors are currently prepping other features so I have no idea when this is going to roll, but roll it shall.  Poor Sugimoto ... she seems like such a nice girl ...

UPDATE!

Thanks to Marc Walkow of Outcast Cinema for the following bits of news.  Backed by Nikkatsu studios, which probably means this will be released here via their Sushi Typhoon label, the English title is The Mutant Girls Squad.  Production begins February 1st and will follow a similar format to Johnnie To / Tsui Hark / Ringo Lam collaboration Triangle, with each of the three directors handling a third of a single continuous storyline.  According to Iguchi, "gore and freak effects will be abundant."

I just found out that this girl is the nurse from the "Kuchu Buranko" anime series... so lovely. How do these guys convince these beauties?

The guys are bizarrely charming in person. Iguchi is like a big, awkward 12 year old. I've got to imagine life on their sets must be a lot of fun ...
