BUNRAKU : A MUSICAL ?!!

Will Josh Hartnett sing in his next film? According to director Guy Moshe, audio interviewed in 2007 by Bluegrass Film Society about his previous film Holly, Bunraku is an action, fantasy, musical epic. The fact that it has been announced in the media as a martial arts actioner is 'part of the way the producers want to sell the film' said Moshe. The recent comment by fight coordinator Larnell Stovall that 'Bunraku is like Moulin Rouge with fighting' starts to make sense...

Not true, but the film is heavily influenced by the look and style of classic musicals. Imagine a classic Hollywood musical where the singing/dancing were replaced with kicking ass."

Funny to find out that Keith Calder is checking out Absolute Josh Hartnett.
My guess is that they copy the best sequence of the cult musical "The Band Wagon".

Michael Jackson (R.I.P) was a HUGE fan of that musical.
