KENTA FUKASAKU AND MAMORU OSHII COLLABORATION

Kenta Fukasaku, the son of Kinji Fukasaku and the director of the much-maligned BATTLE ROYALE 2, has announced his next project on the sly. He's in Tokyo at the Tokyo Project Gathering, looking for money for ELLE IS BURNING! a big-budget action movie written by GHOST IN THE SHELL's Mamoru Oshii. The catalogue description reads:

"A big-budget action movie about a battle between the refugee and the armed forces of Tokyo Metropolitan Police in the near future."
