Today our focus is on new promotional videos of upcoming releases of expected (and not so expected) projects. Adaptation of the game “Yakuza” into a mini-series, and a resonant remake of the cult “Crow”С Bill Skarsgard starring.
Teaser for the series “Yakuza: Like a Dragon”
As previously reported, Amazon Prime Video will release a six-episode series based on the SEGA video game franchise, “Yakuza: Like a Dragon” (Yakuza: Like a Dragon). It was filmed by directors Masaharu Take, (Love for 100 yen) and Takimoto Kengo (Teacher wearing a mask).
The series takes place in two time periods - 1995 and 2005, and tells about the life, childhood friends and consequences of the decisions of a formidable and fearless yakuza warrior (Ryoma Takeuchi), who has a heightened sense of justice, duty and humanity (according to Variety).
The script and plot have been written Sean Crouch (4isla, Exorcist) and Yugo Nakamura (Argument About Flies), Japanese script - Yasuhiro Yoshida (Enoshima Prism) and Kano Yamada (Nude director).
The series premieres on Prime Video on October 24.
Excerpt from the remake of the film “The Crow” (2024)
Remake/reboot of the cult classic film “Raven” 1994 filmed Alex Proyas, was in “production hell” for many years. The project went through many studios and directors, including Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 weeks later), F. Javier Gutierrez (During a thunderstorm) and Corina Hardy (Gangs of London).
Also many actors, including Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Norman Reedus, Luke Evans, Jack Huston и Jason Momoa, were associated with the film, but for one reason or another left it or moved on to other projects.
As a result, he ended up in the director's chair Rupert Sanders, and the main role went to Bill Skarsgard. The other day an excerpt from the upcoming action movie appeared:
Not everyone is enthusiastic about the idea of remaking the film that immortalized the late Brandon Lee, and Sanders himself is adding fuel to the fire. hinting at a close connection with the first picture But here's how James O'Barr, creator of the graphic novel “Raven“, spoke about the project throughout the pre-production process with the various directors mentioned:
We're not remaking the film, we're adapting the book. My metaphor is that there is Dracula with Bela Lugosi and there is Dracula with Francis Ford Coppola; they use the same material, but end up with two completely different films. This movie will be closer to Taxi Driver or a John Woo movie, and I think there's room for both of them - part of the appeal of the Crow comics is that they can tell very different stories.
Maybe, after all, we’ll just abstract ourselves and look at this project as another film adaptation of a book, and not as a remake of a film with Brandon Lee?

Yes.
The previous ones are the ones from Tiger Style Media?
Complete crap, not a movie. The previous two are much better.
Damn, that looks pretty good. I'll have to take note. Thanks.
