News: Gackt's Hollywood debut
Gackt's Hollywood debut
Wed, April 23, 2008 (12:00am EDT)
Musician Gackt will act in his first Hollywood film. The movie, titled "Bunraku," is an action film written and directed by Guy Moshe, starring Josh Hartnett and Demi Moore.
The film is named after a type of traditional Japanese puppet theater, but the universe it is set in also draws inspiration from origami, video games, and other sources. Hartnett plays a drifter on a quest for revenge. Gackt will play his companion, a samurai named Yoshi.
This is Gackt's first movie role since he starred with hyde in the 2003 film "Moon Child."
Filming began in Romania during the middle of this month. The movie is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters in 2009, but no release information for Japan has been announced yet.

Thanks for the update :)
hmm, it does have an interesting set up and idea, based on the inspirations of its universe. I'm interested in knowing more of the story and of his character. Thankfully its an action movie, so I'd be interested in seeing it.
It will be something of interest to follow throughout. I do know one thing, I want to make sure I'm at that premiere.
