Variety reports that outlandish director Takashi Miike has signed on to direct a remake of the 1963 Japanese film,
The Thirteen Assassins formerly directed by Eiichi Kudo. The film follows 13 assassins who come together for a suicide mission to kill an evil lord who has commited a vicious sin.
The remake is set to start lensing in July shooting on location in Japan. Jeremy Thomas and Toshiaki Nakazawa will produce the film under Thomas's Recorded Picture Company, while Hanway Films will handle international distribution.
Generally, I am not a fan of remakes, however certain films do feel that a refreshing take and update of the film could work well. With Takashi Miike on board, this could be one wacky ride. Miike is a freaking crazy director and has been known for never holding back on gore, dark humor and cartoon-esque film making, so a Miike Samuari film should prove to be at the very minimum intresting.
What say you? You seen of Miike's films? Would you go see a Thirteen Assassins remake? Strikeback...

Say what you will about Rob Zombie has his Horror status, but the sequel to his first attempt at Halloween is coming our way within 4 months. This week a new poster has hit the net and I have it for you below. I was intially very excited about this film, but after seeing the trailer, I have some serious doubts. That said, I will still be there to see this film opening week. "Halloween 2" releases August 28th. Checkout the new poster below, which features Michael in his new hoodie and mask.
What say you? Will Zombie's sequel be better than his first attempt? Strikeback....
