Here's an odd one for you. Word broke several months ago that Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) and Guka Omarova (Native Dancer) had joined forces to co-direct, of all things, an action comedy in the Ukraine. A gangster comedy, in fact, and if you want to get really specific a yakuza comedy, and they recruited Tak Sakaguchi - the star of Versus and director of Be A Man Samurai School and Mutant Girls Squad - to help them do it. Sakaguchi would fill a minor on-screen role while also serving as the film's action coordinator.
We had some images a while back but things have been quiet since, for the most part, other than a TV interview reel that showed the first bits of footage.
But now you get the real thing. Russian film site Film.ru tracked down the first proper trailer for the film and we've got it below. Sakaguchi turns up around the 27 second mark.
