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. ;)
 
Thats awesome news! Takeshi is solid in everything hes in, and he's already the voice. And Gans as director will make this movie worth seeing. I dont care what anyone says, Silent Hill was great.
 
Silent Hill was great. I can't think of a video game movie that was better (I know that's not saying much, but whatever :p ).

And awesome news about Takeshi.
 
[quote name='judyjudyjudy']Takeshi Kaneshiro is totally the hotness.

(I had the biggest crush on him in high school. Hottest Asian guy evar.)[/QUOTE]
Srsly, he is fucking smoking. And he is a great actor. And yes, Silent Hill was a good film. The story was a little off, but they got the atmosphere down right 100%.
 
Great news, I love the Onimusha games and I want the movie to do the series justice. I really enjoyed Silent Hill, so I have faith in this not sucking.
 
oh i cant wait for his new movies. One movie with Andy Lau and Jet Li, the other movie based on Three Kingdoms. AWESOMENESS.

This is the movie with andy lau and jet li:

I have a feeling this movie will be out in american theaters.
 
TK is a dreamboat. ;P
I cant wait for it if they get a decent special effects budget and dont go for the average video game movie look.
While Silent hill may not have been 100% true to the game, it still looked incredible as far as efffects I thought. Very creepy and scary atmosphere.
