kennt jemand von euch schon diesen neuen film, der im Mai laut amazon.de auf dvd erscheinen solll??
hier mal eine (leider englische) kurzinfo sowie links zu den kino-trailern:
Coming up Movie "KURO-OBI"
A production of The Klockworx network, "KURO-OBI" features Goju ryu Meibukan Akihito Yagi sensei as the hero. Scheduled to be in theater in autumn 2007, we met Klockworx's Mr. Kojima and director Fuyuhiko Nishi, at the origin of the movie.
Is KURO-OBI an Okinawan karate action movie?
Kojima: It is not an Okinawan karate movie but a karate movie. There are many karate styles in Okinawa and mainland Japan but this movie goes beyond styles to introduce the spirit of karate. And while there is much karate action in the movie, I would say it is more a movie about Budo or martial arts rather than just karate.
Can you tell us about the story?
Kojima: The action takes place in the Japan of 1932. 3 men are the tops students a a karate dojo among which is Akihito Yagi. At the sudden death of their master, his black belt is left to succession. Then starts a story on who will be succeeding the master
There are many action actors and karateka in Japan. Why choose Akihito Yagi?
Nishi: I have been looking at karate and other martial arts for more than 20 years, but when I first saw Akihitos moves, I saw something that I had never seen. It was fascinating. There are many martial artists with long carriers, but seeing Akihitos kata, I saw not only the kata performed by a real martial artist, but a real aura that was captivating. This is a factor that first class actors have, like a natural talent and Akihito had it. Thats why in my mind he was the perfect person for the role.
After finishing the movie, are you satisfied?
Nishi: Very satisfied. The movie is filled with true karate. I am proud to introduce it as a movie that demonstrates the beauty, way of life and spirit of karate masters. I hope that many karate enthusiasts will enjoy it and that non karate men will want to start practicing this art.
When is the movie scheduled to appear on screen?
Kojima: First, the movie is going to the Montreal International Film Festival August 23rd to September 3rd. Then it should be in Japanese movie theaters in October 2007
