So yeah, this is happening.  Ken Watanabe (Inception, Batman Begins) in the Clint Eastwood role.


From Twitch (presumably from somewhere else first)

Ken Watanabe takes the lead as a traditional thinker holding to his samurai code - despite the shifting standards of the late 1800s - who takes a job as a bounty killer. Kunimura Jun, Yagira Yuya, Sato Koichi, Emoto Akira, Koike Eiko and Kutsuna Shioli star with Hula Girls helmer Lee Sang-il directing.

I've seen these articles all weekend about this. As I've said, traditional westerns do nothing for me. Even the greats like The Unforgiven and Tombstone.

They don't move my meter either way. I could care less about them.
It just seems to be that period of time. Getting around on horses, guns, little towns, the conflict at hand. All of it, I just can't relate to or want to get involved with.

Like Opera. I don't hate it, just have zero interest anyway about it.
