Live-action sci-fi remake from Ichi the Killer helmer, Honey and Clover star
Director Takashi Miike (Crows Zero, Ichi the Killer, The Great Yokai War) and Arashi singer/actor Sho Sakurai (Honey and Clover) will appear at the world premiere of their live-action film remake of the Yatterman anime at New York Comic Con on February 6. The two will travel from Japan for a 4:00 p.m. panel and the movie's 5:00 p.m. screening in New York City. Sakurai stars as Gan Takada, one half of the Yatterman superhero duo who fights the nefarious Dorombo gang. The science-fiction comedy movie will open in Japan on March 7.
tterman | Fans have been waiting for Takashi Miike to create a giant robot movie for years, and finally it's here! Starring Japanese superstar Sho Sakurai, Yatterman is the story of two teenagers who run a super, high-tech toy shop which serves as a cover for their crime-busting exploits as Yatterman, a pair of masked super heroes who pilot the sentient dog robot, Yatterwan. Takashi Miike and Sho Sakurai will be at NYCC to speak about Yatterman at 4 PM on Friday in the IGN Theater. Both will then appear at the world premiere of Yatterman at an exclusive theater in NYC! The world premiere of Yatterman is presented by Nikkatsu, the New York Asian Film Festival, and New York Comic Con. For details as to where and when, head over to the Nikkatsu Booth (1315). | Friday | 4:00 PM

AH! I am a Matsumoto ichiban, but Sho comes as a close second, so I don't know if I should save my money for a possible concert this summer or go to NY! Ah! For all of you who live in New York, I hope you realize how lucky you are!
