All I'm going to point out right now is that I WILL see it if it has sequences that can match the opening to game number 3.

Yeah, that opening sequence is one of the best I've ever seen. The graphics were awesome, and the fighting scenes were fantastic. And having Takeshi Kaneshiro for the movie is the only choice the fans would accept. Some of you might remember him from the movie "The Returner".

Omfg, this is great news, not only am i a huge fan of onimusha, it actually stars Takeshi Kaneshiro!! the perfect guy for samanosuke.
And about the opening sequence, it was mocapped by donnie yen, so i'm guessing kaneshiro has a lot of training to do.
Actually, Takeshi Kaneshiro IS Samanosuke, since they look and sound the same.
I didn't know that Donnie Yen did the motion capture. But that's a very interesting piece of information. I'm hoping the movie get either Yuen Wo Ping or Donnie Yen to do the fights and stunts.

Wow, just remembered that Onimusha 3 also had Jean Reno's semblance in it as Jacque... I seriously wonder whether they're considering a surprise appearance of sorts for the movie.

Yeah i know that, I was acutally more suprised that he would star as samanosuke, cause the reason his face was not used for samanosuke in Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, was because of some stupid thing.Originally Posted by Psyke

His agent didn't want him to be connected to a video game character anymore cause it wasn't good for his image or something.
But now he reprises his role as the red oni, which means he might be back in the next onimusha game too ( that would be sweet).
Anyway this movie has a budget of 70+ million, so it should turn out pretty sweet, too bad it won't come out until december 2009.
So the due date for it is December 2009? Oh well... worth the wait I suppose once things are said and done. Should be good!

So you are an Onimusha fan? that's pretty cool, seeing how Onimusha caters to Capcom's male "niche" market
I may be female and not the typical fan... but I am one still. :P
