Teaser For Takashi Miike's AI TO MAKOTO Is Here
Takashi Miike is at it again.  In addition to his upcoming adaptation of Nintendo DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, he's now adapting another manga.  This time around it is Ai To Makoto, or The Legend of Love & Sincerity.  I know nothing about this manga, but a little bit of research shows that the film will be the fourth live action adaptation since 1974.

Not much of the cast is known at the moment, unless you can pick more faces out of the trailer, however the leads are known. Ai To Makoto stars Emi Takei in one of the title roles as Ai. I can find nothing much about Emi prior to this film, but it looks like she has a lot of history in TV. The role of Makoto is being played by Satoshi Tsumabuki, who has quite a history in quirky Japanese films.  Most recently he can be found in Katsuhito Ishii's Smuggler, before that he was seen in Lee Sang-il's Villain, and has a role on his IMDB CV in Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift with a character known only as "Exceedingly Handsome Guy".  That can't be a bad thing, right?

This trailer shows that Takashi Miike remains one of the most versatile directors out there.  He ping pongs back and forth from serious period films like 13 Assassins and Hara-kiri to stylish, garish numbers like Zebraman 2, Phoenix Wright, and this one.  There's not much of substance to look at in the trailer, but the colors sure are pretty.
