BUNRAKU: STILL NO DISTRIBUTION DEAL FOR THE U.S.A.

Gregory Ellwood and Drew McWeeny from HitFix confirmed in an article published today that BUNRAKU is still 'hoping to be picked up' by an U.S. distributor during the Toronto Film Festival 2010. Ellwood and McWeeny conclude that '[BUNRAKU] is one of those action films that aims to be something outside the norm, so the stakes are high. If it fails, it could be awful, but if it succeeds, this "Yojimbo" riff set in a world that appears to be made of paper filled with crazy colorful criminals and lowlifes could be the trippiest kick of the festival. There's buzz building already, and anyone planning to attend the Midnight Madness screening should be ready for anything.'
