PEEKING INTO THE FUTURE

Sneakpeeks If you haven't seen them yet, HelloZiyi is hosting a bunch of stills (and some footage) from the upcoming Yuen Wo-ping/Zhang Ziyi HAMLET adaptation, THE BANQUET. That's one of them on the right. I forget which part of HAMLET features freaky-looking mimes but I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

There's a new trailer up for BRAVE STORY, the Fuji TV animated feature that's coming out next summer, and it's looking better and better.

Mark Schilling reviews the two new J-horror movies - BOOTH and SHIZUE - in the Japan Times and *surprise* doesn't think that much of either one of them.

Finally, a trailer is up for the American remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's PULSE and it looks like it entirely misses the point. However, Jason Buchanan over on the Mobius Home Video Forum has identified a shot in the trailer that's been swiped from the original movie. You can see a frame grab from the US trailer here and a nearly identical frame grab from the original PULSE here. Homage or laziness...you be the judge.
