Mizuno Miki Is Matsushima Nami

Thanks for this news Jon Pais! I'm not sure what to think about the idea of yet another "Jyoshu 701: Sasori" remake (there was one in 1998). There's been so many "Joshuu" (Female Prisoner) type movies in the past -- Jyoshuu Amazoness, Joshuu Shokeijin: Maria, Sasori in USA, Joshuu 101-- and all have been done-on-the cheap with terrible stories. I'm a huge fan of the original 70's series with Kaji Meiko and liked the two non-Kaji Shin Joshuu 701 Sasori sequels. While the casting of Mizuno Miki is pretty good (she was great in "Senrigan" and "My Lover Is A Sniper"), I don't know if the story will be as great. My fear is that they make this into some sort of "Kill Bill" clone/ripoff/imitation as the story is very similar (hence the inclusion of Kaji's song in Vol. 1).

That link you posted said Joe Ma's directing...Oh my god, that's a terrible choice, all he's done are fluffy romcoms. They should've got Soi Cheang, whos much better at this type of stuff, and ironically Soi Cheang is ironically a pupil of Joe Ma.

Oops, typed ironically more than I should've there. :/

This series needs to just die. The same goes for the the Yakuza Wives series. It's like those two are competing over who can have the most insufferable sequels/remakes.
