Ah… Another Kenichi Matsuyama movie coming out this year. I don’t think there’s an exact date yet. I found this trailer last night…
I’m not sure about the story but from what I’ve heard, that woman with Kenichi (played by Nagasaku Hiromi) is supposed to be 39 yrs. old? So I guess the story is about a guy in a relationship with an older woman. But then there’s another girl who likes him (played by Aoi Yuu). I love Aoi Yuu by the way. She played Hagu in the Honey & Clover live action movie, and as I said in a previous post, she was soooo perfect as Hagu. She was so cute… So yeah, I’m excited to see her with Kenichi this time. Hmm… So Kenichi Matsuyama has now worked with both actresses who play Hagu in Honey & Clover live action drama AND movie (Narumi Riko in Shindo and now Aoi Yuu). Nice!
Getting back to the trailer, hmm… I think the music is cute. Kenichi is shirtless, and smoking… and has a make out scene, no wait, and a love scene! I was kind of shocked when I first saw this cause haven’t even seen him do like a kissing scene before. Does he have any other film or series where he has a kissing scene?? Anyway, this movie looks good. But that older woman… um… anyway, I hope he ends up with Aoi Yuu’s character.
Yehey! Sweeney Todd will finally be shown here in the Philippines Wednesday next week, January 16, 2008. It was shown in the US last December and I heard it was really good and super graphic. I’m guessing they delayed showing it here to give way to the Metro Manila Film Festival, which had pretty crappy entries this year by the way. Anyway, at least it’s finally coming. I saw it’s R-18. It’s supposed to be a musical but really gory. I can’t wait to see Johnny Depp and hear his singing. Apparently, this is the first time he actually sings in a movie and based on the trailer, it’s not bad at all. This is directed by Tim Burton and it also stars his girlfriend, Helena Bonham Carter (Corpse Bride, Harry Potter OOTP), Alan Rickman (Harry Potter movies), Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat).
By the way, I think I read from this forum that Death Note is going to be remade into a live action Hollywood film as well. It was also indicated that Johnny Depp is interested in the part of L. I guess this might be true, except for the Johnny Depp part… I don’t know, it sounds so made up. Although L’s character does seem to be the type that would appeal to Johnny Depp. Even though I love Johnny, I still think of Kenichi Matsuyama as the perfect L. Plus, Johnny might be too old for L. But if they’re gonna do a Hollywood version, I guess he’d do a pretty good job as L (he’s always good naman e).
