irector Christophe Gans is bringing Capcom's Onimusha to the big screen with filming scheduled to kick off early next year. While Gans' adaptation of Silent Hill received mixed reviews for its take on Konami's horror franchise, it seems his Onimusha flick is off to a good start. According to Ain't It Cool News, Gans spilled some casting-related beans to French site DVDrama, putting actor Takeshi Kaneshiro in the role of lead demon slayer Samanosuke.
This is one of those casting "no-brainers." Kaneshiro not only performed the voiceovers for Samanosuke in the original Onimusha: Warlords and Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, Capcom designed the in-game model to look like the Taiwanese-Japanese actor. Outside of Onimusha games, Kaneshiro is probably most famous for his portrayal of Jin in the movie House of Flying Daggers.
Something about this sounds too right. When's some clueless executive going to come around and fuck this thing up the right way?
Thank you Jesus!!!! Silent Hill was not a completely horrible film, so this has potential to not suck so much either. NOW it is confirmed that Takeshi Kaneshiro will play the lead as fans wanted. :drool::drool::drool: This is a great day; watch the movie suck, though at least Kaneshiro will provide eye candy for the ladies throughout the movie. ;)
