Fumihiko Sori, best known for his CGI film Vexille, is finishing up a film which redoes the whole Zatoichi series with a female lead, ala Haruka Ayase. "Ayase plays a blind woman who roams about town with her shamisen (a three-stringed Japanese guitar), but she has exceptional sword skills with which she fights off yakuza and other villains." Awesome, I love samurai films, in fact not even Tom Cruise could kill The Last Samurai. This started shooting on May 3rd of last year, so I'm sure their in post. Beyond that, not much more information is available, but do check out the teaser on the Warner Bros Japanese site!
