Update on Takashi Miike's RYÛ GA GOTOKU: GEKIJÔ-BAN

The official website for Takashi Miike's Ryû ga gotoku: gekijô-ban has been overhauled. (Note: Ryû ga gotoku: gekijô-ban shouldn't be confused with Takeshi Miyasaka's Ryû ga gotoku - jissha-ban, which Miike is credited as having been the integration director (sôgô kantoku) for.) Also, Twitch - in association with GOMORRAHY.com - is now providing a downloadable QuickTime version of the second teaser trailer for the movie.

The screenplay for Ryû ga gotoku: gekijô-ban was written by Masashi Sogo, based on Sega Corporation's PlayStation 2 game Yakuza (Ryû ga gotoku). The movie stars (listed order corresponds to order on official website) Kazuki Kitamura, Gorô Kishitani, Shun Shioya, Saeko, Natsuo, Haruhiko Katô, Saki Takaoka, Shô Aikawa, Yutaka Matsushige, Tomorowo Taguchi, Yoo Gong (Kon Yu), Ken'ichi Endô, Yoshiyoshi Arakawa (9th from the bottom), Kurôdo Maki (a.k.a. Claude Maki), and Sansei Shiomi.

Toei Company Ltd. (Tôei K.K.) is scheduled to release Ryû ga gotoku: gekijô-ban theatrically in Japan on March 3rd.
