First Teaser For Kitano's Kantoku - Banzai!, 『監督・ばんざい！』

I cannot wait to see this. What an awfully teasing teaser.

Is the teaser just that one tracking shot that pans from his back to his front and he has his arm draped around the dummy? If so, then I kind of wish that I never saw such a short teaser. It offered me pretty much nothing.
Will it be a takeshi&dummy buddy cop movie? Is takeshi a wannabe ventriloquist who leaves his family to pursue his dream?
Well, at any rate, this seems to suggest that this movie will be largely a comedy. With it's name being Banzai! it is probably a sure bet. If this is true then I'm probably not going to be very interested in this movie. I vastly prefer Kikujiro & Fireworks type Takeshi.
That's the end of my rant.

Kikujiro WAS a comedy. I think we will be dealing with Kitano in Takeshis' mode again, though.

this is why i check twitch every day!
i've been waiting to hear of a new Kitano film for a year now!
As per the above comments, the sound of a gunshot at the trailer's start at least suggests some 'action'. besides, all the comedy from TK's films, from Violent Cop to Brother, has been hilarious. If its not an all-out action, so much the better for Kitano to avoid repeating himself (which Brother, though really good, definitely did).

also, "Though Kitano says the pic will be "non-violent," he plans on making it a mish-mash of genres (ninja, samurai swashbuckler, love story, Ozu-esque homage), with the main one being comedy."
