I'm looking forward to this film. Seems to be a "Dirty Dozen" like samurai film coming out in Japan this September. Here's a couple of trailers I found.

Thanks for the links, it does look good.
It is a remake of an earlier film, part of a loose "trilogy" of films by Eiichi Kudo, one of the many Japanese directors who are relatively unknown in the USA. I mentioned them here on the Dojo forum a while back in
this thread.
Here is a nice essay about him at Midnighteye.com.......
Eiichi Kudo's Guerrilla Filmmaking by Robin Gotto.
(All three films mentioned can be purchased on unofficial "fan-subbed" DVDs through
Kurotokagi).
13 Assassins.
