Gackt to Star in a Hollywood film.
 
Quote:

Musician Gackt will act in his first Hollywood film. The movie, titled "Bunraku," is an action film written and directed by Guy Moshe, starring Josh Hartnett and Demi Moore.

The film is named after a type of traditional Japanese puppet theater, but the universe it is set in also draws inspiration from origami, video games, and other sources. Hartnett plays a drifter on a quest for revenge. Gackt will play his companion, a samurai named Yoshi.

This is Gackt's first movie role since he starred with hyde in the 2003 film "Moon Child."

Filming began in Romania during the middle of this month. The movie is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters in 2009, but no release information for Japan has been announced yet.

Sounds interesting.

Kodayumi 23rd April 2008 10:44 AM

Awesome news!. :D

this would be interesting. ^.^

Choyan 23rd April 2008 10:53 AM

O_O .... seriously?? x-x~!

AyuGAME 23rd April 2008 10:56 AM

WEEE!!!! so cool!!! can't wait to see it

xiaou-xijiang 23rd April 2008 10:58 AM

oh good grief. Wasn't moon child enough? :P

bondingo 23rd April 2008 11:39 AM

I'm with the hesitant ones on this. Gackt in a movie? Just him in general is enough for me, never mind him actually acting in a Hollywood film.

bulmasman 23rd April 2008 11:44 AM

Must... see... this...

and i personally really liked Moonchild lol

fanmail 23rd April 2008 01:54 PM

Better get that Engrish fixed then. :D

~ayu-cake~ 23rd April 2008 02:14 PM

Waaah?
For real?

This is pretty crazy, not something I would have expected XD

Thanks for the info~

Neo Daydream 23rd April 2008 02:18 PM

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! >.< omigosh! this is awesome! Gackt will get so much exposure!!! ^^ I can't wait to see it!!!! >.<
thanks for the info!!!

evolusean 23rd April 2008 03:54 PM

Sounds like it's going to be really, really... kitschy. Kinda apprehensive, but we'll see.

Neo Daydream 23rd April 2008 04:00 PM

his English is actually really good. and if he's playing a Japanese guy - a SAMURAI, i think a lil Engrish is ok.

and i LOVE Moon Child ^^

I know Gackt is trying to bring Asian music exposure in the US. and hopefully this movie will help.

I hope the film kicks ass! ^^

chocopockymaster 23rd April 2008 04:36 PM

This is too fabulous for words! :luv2 I think he should sing a song for it too. <3~ I've been going through Gackt withdrawls lately.

Miku 23rd April 2008 04:40 PM

my lovely Gackt ;)
thx for the info ^ ^

Sakura_Genki 23rd April 2008 05:08 PM

Sounds interesting~ I'm not a big fan of Gackt but I'd sure like to see this.

kayokyokufan 23rd April 2008 05:35 PM

I'm really excited about this movie. I don't even care to find out more about the storyline. I think I'll just watch it because it's a Hollywood movie with Gackt in it.

taskinillusion 23rd April 2008 06:58 PM

For REAL?! Does he speak English??

Wow. One of my friends is OBSESSED with Gackt and will flip when they hear this I'm sure...

Neo Daydream 23rd April 2008 07:09 PM

yeah, he's fluent in like English, Cantonese, French and maybe knows some Korean. he's a freakin genius ^^ i <3 him ^^

check out this vid:

contains pic of Josh and Gackt ^^

Cyria 23rd April 2008 07:47 PM

Hartnett and Moore aren't exactly A+ these days, but this is still very impressive.

I found this photo, is it real or fanmade?

kayokyokufan 23rd April 2008 09:51 PM

Wow! I always thought that Gackt was pretty tall, but he looks pretty small compared to Hartnett.

Aisha_Angel 23rd April 2008 10:10 PM

AWESOMENESS...I'll definitely go see this movie when it comes out. And Gackt had BETTER do some promotion here in America. I hate the way the people behind Speed Racer shoved Rain into the Korean promotion, and left him out of the American one. I mean, I know he wasn't a main character but still---let's at least TRY not to be so rude to foreign celebrities.

JaysenRyan 23rd April 2008 10:22 PM

my god hes hawt. josh hartnett though? eeew.

mi|kshake 23rd April 2008 10:23 PM

More of a casual Gackt fan - but will look forward to this! My friends will be quite excited by this I think!

mi|kshake~

Huaka 23rd April 2008 10:37 PM

Ooh, this gives me a reason to go to the movies now. Excellent!

CREA.tive 23rd April 2008 11:15 PM

OH.MY.GOD This is definitely something I want to see:heart

Ani_C 24th April 2008 03:57 AM

I've got to see this! :laugh

Deneb 24th April 2008 04:30 AM

well, at least gackt can put his stage cosplay talent into good use lol. he won't be singing the theme song right? :D thanks for the news

CatGirl 24th April 2008 05:12 PM

Oh my gosh, that's SO cool! :O I'm really happy for him~ I MUST go see this movie xDD

I did a search and Hartnett is listed as 6' 2½" (1.89 M).

apple-pi 24th April 2008 07:53 PM

Thanks for the info!
Somehow I find the idea of Gackt as a samurai amusing :laugh Did he ever dress like one before?

YuriChan 24th April 2008 08:47 PM

I think so... There's a picture of him dressed like one here.. :)

MeruChan 26th April 2008 03:07 PM

kendelle 27th April 2008 02:48 PM

Haha, awesome! Gackt is HAWT :luv2

Ryuuzaki 27th April 2008 07:50 PM

thanks for the news

can't wait to see the movie ^^

Rebirthia 28th April 2008 07:18 PM

Yeah.... I almost faint when i came to know it...

You know, i was just visiting buranku page i imdb the other day!!!!

I'm a Gackt fan, but it's needless to say that I also adore The Man (omg, Gackt was also "The Man" in my cosmogony ... unnn, I'll have to make certain changes...)

stepho_chan 28th April 2008 07:59 PM

oy. this is going to be terrible...cause gackt is a piss poor actor. Lol the only reason i love Moon Child so much is cause he's pretty and the movie is DELIGHTFULLY cheesy.

ownsarai 29th April 2008 08:41 AM

WOW! *Loves Gackt!* Moon Child was a pretty good movie, I thought. I can't wait to see this! I'll go see it on it's opening day. ^^

Rebirthia 29th April 2008 09:08 AM

^you're lucky! don't know if it will be released in my country, although, i am not interested in the dubbed version, i love Gackt & Josh original voices *_*

Rebirthia 15th May 2008 08:12 PM

this film news got me crazy. today i have read (it's in imdb already) that a spanish actor is going to perform as well, Jordi Mollá !!!

ayu_ready? 18th May 2008 01:02 PM

OOOOOOOOOOOMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGGGG! :luv2

pommy48 19th May 2008 01:54 AM

Aderianu 22nd May 2008 09:39 AM

Bad Wolf 22nd May 2008 04:15 PM

I'm hesitant if only because it has Josh Hartnett and Demi Moore... But.. yay for Gackt :)

Chandrachan 4th July 2008 08:05 PM

What kind of movie stars Josh Hartnett and Demi Moore? This movie has to have on of the most interesting cast in Hollywood history.

and ^congratulations :)

Bunraku blog translations (from Gackt's Dears website) with pictures:
http://www.jrockrevolution.com/forum...ead.php?t=4469
Really funny :)

LizBrazil 11th July 2008 05:03 PM

Yea, that's basically what happened. This was in the Dears-only blog (again, which I will have direct access to within a month) but I know two people who are subscribers and they said similar things. Basically Gackt was punched on the nose by Josh during filming of a stunt scene, a faked punch actually *landed* on Gackt and he was extremely angry, had to be restrained from retaliating against Josh while Josh kept repeating how he was sorry and it was an accident. Gackt talked about his blood-thirstiness in his reaction.

The thing with Gackt falling and getting bonked on the head was also in this blog entry (Gackt wrote all this! I'm pretty surprised he'd disclose this info to be honest). I believe he was being carried on Josh's *shoulders* and not piggyback, but I can't find this detail at the moment. Either way, he had a fever as a result of the bump and later a doctor had to give him a very painful shot in the butt. Apparently he got really angry at the doctor for the painful shot, too. (That's pretty funny though -- kind of like a baby screaming at getting a shot!)

In the end, Gackt is A-OK. But getting a fever after hitting your head badly -- that's a mild concussion, isn't it? Yeesh.

As the Gackt blog is for paid members only I don't feel comfortable C&Ping the text here, but I figure an English paraphrase should be OK.

I hope this is all worth it for him! Doesn't sound like this has been much fun .__. And I hope he doesn't pummel Josh Hartnett into paste by the end of this.
:roflmao
I feel sorry for GACKT, but this is just too funny...
