[redoredo107]

[GothicAvenger]

we need to get this video watched by as many people as possible so it doesnt die a horrible death before its even released.

[zeldagamefan]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO FINALLY COME TO THEATERS :)

[SmackuSer]

There is an actor called Gackt?

[SoskoVideos]

@SmackuSer Not just an actor, but a musician too. He's SUPER popular in Japan so that's why he's probably not known much in America. He's a really nice guy and I heard his acting was AMAZING in this movie :D

[MeinKomponist]

@SmackuSer

GACKT is a Superstar in Japan, one of the Best Singers there for over a decade now.

His live shows are amazing

[jrkjrkpl]

+1 for no 3D

-1 for cheesy content...

[Lu12VIP]

Omg Gackt <3 <3

O.O and Demi Moore <

[nallelieras]

Gackt ♥

[KimCheeWarrior]

ive never even heard of this gackt guy before watching this trailer, might have to do a little search on him. all in all, an interesting looking movie. has sort of a comic book feel to it. ill be keeping my eye on this one.

[zeldagamefan]

@KimCheeWarrior he's a famous singer ,actor,writer,model and musician in japan to get a feel of his acting skills check out a movie called moonchild it's a movie he's written and stared in

[Cloud2079]

@zeldagamefan moonchild was a fantastic movie.

[TheThehouseplant]

I thought Demi Moore had arthritis.

[shidomurdok]

Yo quiero ver esta cagada yaaa

[ds37]

meh... direct to dvd?

[Strand0410]

Looks like the cheapest thing I've ever seen.

Did they film this on Broadway stage?

[Nolus20]

Sukiyaki Western Django meets Sin City meets A Fistful of Dollars meets Dick Tracy meets Warriors Way = Bunraku

[GiveMeYourAsians]

Oh my sweet lord in heaven, it's GACKT <3

[ZeroDayVirus]

Did everyone notice that there wasn't a huge "3D" slapped on at the end of the trailer! respect!

[DirEnGay]

@ZeroDayVirus Probably because this shit has been coming out for over 3 years now, so technically before the 3D boom, even so it doesn't look too great but fuck it, if Ron Perlman is in it I'll happily watch it, even if it's shit and it should be funny listening to how bad Gackt's English is.

[HoneyNVinegar]

This had BEST have a wide release. If I don't get my kickass!Josh fix, someone's gonna get hurt.

[seraphxl18]

Gackt!!

[YamiNoBahamut]

I love that the comments on here are pretty much all DEARS :P DEAR power! xD

[annabananasanders]

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GACKTO!!!! *Totally going to cheer for Gackt the second he is on screen*

[CruelHearts63]

So, it's going to be realesed in theaters or dvd? I've been waiting for this movie since frikin' ever man ><

[dalic07]

@CruelHearts63 The official theater release is supposed to be September 30th, though there is no hint of whether or not it will be a limited release and those of us waiting for the movie know its been pushed back before. Also, if you have video on demand, they are supposed to released for VOD on September 1st. I don't have cable or satellite, but I'm willing to wait the extra few weeks to see it on the big screen.

[OfficialBrettJustin]

alright im a little confused...1 this movie looks like it can be a real good movie but what the heck is it actually about and is it supposed to look like fake or ;???

[needsmoremilk]

@OfficialBrettJustin Yep, it's meant to look like a stylised origami-inspired world. :) It's a samurai-western-gangster film, and is basically about a drifter and a samurai who team up to get rid of a crime lord who's controlling a city. :)

[931runo]

GACKTカッコいい！早く観たい（＾Ｏ＾☆♪

[WijaxJun]

Will so watch for Gackt, I'm sorry. xD

To the producers,

It is an AWESOME move how you added Gackt in the movie...if you hadn't...you wouldn't get this much fan(girl)s to watch it.　(lmao)

Good work. xD

[sugreev2001]

Why the hell is the world made of Paper Mache ?

[signer007]

@sugreev2001 'Bunraku' is the name of traditional Japanese puppetry where backdrops were often just painted paper. The movie is simply nodding to that :)

[sugreev2001]

@signer007 Thanks for the info,buddy.I read it up on Wikipedia.

[Elshiem]

@sugreev2001 Because is awesome!!!

[MeinKomponist]

GACKTO POWER FTW !

[snoosification]

hm... i wait really really bad for that movie! hope they´ll get it on dvd soon if it´ll not get into the theaters...

[ESAsher001]

Gackt, Gackt, Gackt. That's all I hear. I like Gackt but I'm in this for Ron Freakin Perlman and Kevin McKidd

[Erinia13]

OMG Gackt! I can't wait!!! I have been waiting for this movie since it was a rumour. He looks awesome, he is freaking awesome. LOL looks like all of us (Gackt's fangirls, that's it) are here, cool!

[AmericanGuest]

youtube.com/watch?v=9Wj2NA1pBz­E

Russian trailer

[hentaikappa]

It would be amazing if this movie made bank just because of GACKT fans going to see it for the sole purpose of seeing him on the big screen outside of Japan. *squealll* Going to go watch Moonchild now to appease me till it comes out!!

[Hakkai87]

@hentaikappa AMERICAN DEARS REPRESENT!!!

[lisakirara]

i'm waiting only for the Breath Taking Gackt! i'm CRAZY about this Epic Beautiful amazing man! Gackt i LOVE u! <3

[kuuki001]

わーーーーーーーーい！！やっと来たーーー！ジョシュLOVE！­！

[allreminiscence]

Kevin McKidd! Gackt! <3

[bakaringo]

10 people were blinded by the sheer awesomeness of this trailer and thus missed the LIKE button.

[yellowrox12]

did josh just jump from one building to another? ;-;

... wow. i see Gackt flooding the comments XDD

[GothicAvenger]

I just hope it's a wide theatrical release, and not just exclusive huge city releases like NY or LA.

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@GothicAvenger Oh man. I didn't even think of that. Ah well. At least it'll be on demand before it comes to the theaters.

[MettaFTW]

^___^ I was lucky enough to be able to see this movie at Actionfest up in Asheville a couple of months ago, and the trailer doesn't quite capture all the awesomeness!!

XD what I find funny is how they always name GACKT last when they mention the actors, and Demi Moore is alwasy close to the front. She's not in the movie for 15 minutes. Granted, yes, I am a Dear, but I still think GACKT should be bumped up right after Josh, considering they're the most important 2 characters, popularity aside.

[6Niji6Takarai6]

I want to see it now!! Gackt its awsome°!!!

[xXDiane1xX]

I love how most of the comments are all about GACKT. lol Love you Gackt!! Can't wait to watch this :D

[distantlandmusic]

Never thought Woody Harrelson would be in a movie like this lol.

[notxtoshi]

Let's get it right. Gackt has had more singles (39) debut on the Oricon chart in the top ten then any other male artist. In fact all of his singles (39) debuted in the top ten. That in itself is a major feet. Gonna see the movie at the Otakon next week. I hope they use one of the big ball rooms. I have a feeling they are underestimating the number of people who want to see this. Can't wait.

[fates1child]

Can't wait. It has been so long. Gackt-sama as a samurai again. So very awesome!!!

[KathaWolf]

For Love! GACKT! The only reason to watch it!

[erinandhyde5255]

GACKT!!! The only reason why I wanna see this movie. Can't wait. 

[Silverevilchao]

This is going to be so bad that it wraps around to awesomeness. Also, Gackt. :D

[Porly62]

The actors look awful in these CG-enviroments....AWFUL

[WanderLink]

A shitty movie from 2010, why is this being presented as though it were new?

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@WanderLink Because it never came out in 2010.

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@WanderLink And how would you know it was shitty if you've never seen it?

[WanderLink]

@ILoveYouBillKaulitz6

When did I say I've never seen it? Besides, good movies don't get released Video On Demand after only being in a film festival where it got no acclaim and before it's ever been released in theaters. Only bad movies get that treatment. Besides, look at it, it looks like generic shit with awful effects on the level of a PC video game from the 90's.

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@WanderLink Well, I haven't seen it. Maybe I'd like it. Your opinion is not the same as everyone else's.

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@WanderLink Plus, if you didn't like the movie why would you take time out of your day just to comment on this video? I'm not saying that you don't have the right to your own opinion but it doesn't really make sense to watch something you hate.

[Goshujinsama17]

Josh Hartnett, Woody Harrelson and GACKT?!?! *dies from pure joy*

[LonewolfwRuki]

OMG this movie is finale coming out

[djmsan]

GACKT!!!!!!

I love him!

I can't wait more for this movie!!!!

[xGTDSx]

I cannot freaking WAIT. ALDKFJALDKJADLFJAS.

[xAuroraChanx]

@eshbound Then would you kindly point me to the male solo artists that are selling more than he does? The Japanese market (not counting enka) is incredibly difficult for male solo artists as it is dominated by idol groups and female singers. When it comes to visibility, GACKT certainly takes the cake. And that's saying a lot for male solo artists, as he is barely visible in Japan. Also please check your sources, he passed the 10 million records mark a long time ago already.

[flaberis2]

looks like Sin City and Speed Racer, but kinda crappy

[MeinKomponist]

I didn't mean Gackt is the Japanese Micheal Jackson because of Plastic Surgery.

I am a big Fan of the Late King of Pop !

Gackt to me has the same kind of Fascination as Michael had, he has this Magic too ..

Of course he is NOT Michael Jackson but i thought its a good hint for peaple who don't know him yet.

[MeinKomponist]

@eshbound

You are wrong ! It is officially confirmed that he is the Best Selling Male Artist !

Check out bit dot ly/rs3dV1 (Replace the dot with a real dot without spaces)

[BerserkerGackt]

is it only showing in america because i hope its in cinema in england

and when this comes on dvd its going straight into my gackt collection

gackt looks incredible

[needsmoremilk]

@BerserkerGackt It's been picked up by a UK distributor who deals with cinema releases as well as DVD releases, so hopefully it will be shown in cinemas over here. Although I have my suspicions of it ending up being only shown in arthouse-style cinemas like the Picturehouse ones. ;^^ (Thank goodness for there being one in Liverpool if that's the case!)

[VocaloidAnime1924]

I can't wait to see Gackt-sama in this movie...Hope it is good X3

[agzt1n4]

Loved Josh... loved Demi... But, i loved GACKT more!! Whaowww~~he looked sooooo cool as a samurai!! He's not only great in singing or playing music instruments or even composing a song, but the fact that he has a martial arts background, Tae Kwon Do, i just "WHAOOO!!!". When i watched this trailer i was amazed by his fighting style! Oh dear...i can't wait to watch this movie in my country one day!

[Metakkrist]

looks like shit...

[MeinKomponist]

GACKTO POWER TO THE MAX !!!!

[Karei96]

Goddammit, I've been waiting so long for this! I cannot wait to see Gackt, absolutely cannot wait! <3

[ime239]

who is gackt?i'll watch it for Woody Harrelson.

[MeinKomponist]

@ime239

Gackt is the Japanese Actor who plays a Samurai in the Movie, he is the #1 Best-Selling Male Solo Artist in Japan (as a singer).

[AliceTheSphynx]

GACKT! :)

[quericksly34]

When does this come out

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@quericksly34 September 1, 2011 for on demand and September 30, 2011 for the theaters.

[0Reii0]

O-O Holy ****

GACKT! *faints*

[alittlemikeful]

this strikes me as a kill bill wannabe

[nobuta10]

they're lucky b/c of gackt.....

[roisin171]

because gackt is in it i have to see it.

[MikiZala]

The comments just full of DEARS.... hahaha..

but pretty sure i wont watch this film without GACKT in it.... XD

[DerHeiligste]

3 people have no honor.

[unofficialdear]

Is Gackt gonna die in this? o_o because the fact that Gackt appears right after the guys says "but they still die" is pretty ominous XD

[columhcille]

@unofficialdear i was wondering that as well!!!??? I sure hope his character doesn't die. I'll be highly disappointed. :( DEARS everywhere will be saddened.

[shinkumi18]

@columhcille Good news for you - GACKT doesn't die in the movie. It's sort of a spoiler, but at least you'll be happy while watching it, right? ^__^

[0Reii0]

@shinkumi18 phew... thanks, That was bothering me xD

[BerserkerGackt]

@shinkumi18 thats a relief because normally they kill of the cool ones :)

[FVHS1991]

I saw this film in early July, and It was great! Unlike anything I have ever seen before. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed.

[unofficialdear]

I want to see this in theatres so bad! we have been waiting for this for 2 years! or more?

[djmsan]

@unofficialdear Me too, two years waiting is so much!

[darksidehero]

ehh I saw and loved Sucker Punch, why would I feel any different about this >_>

[columhcille]

@darksidehero This movie is different because Gackt is in it!! 0.0

[Denierachan]

@hakueisan Oh, but that's your personal opinion, not a fact at all. The real fact is that you just don't like him. GACKT is playing one of the main roles in the movie, of course they have to credit him, hehe.

Fans can do whatever they want, so if they want to scream for him, they'll do it till you get deaf :)

Be aware of the DEAR power, my dear :)

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

@hakueisan Nice job giving this video more popularity.

[Lazuli8888]

@hakueisan Pathetic is you.Get ur ass of thz video.Who ar u to judge GACKT or his DEARS?We ll cheer as hell we want.If u dont like him get a life and stop lookin at videos he is in.

[NoNamerGirl]

It's impossible for me to keep my mouth shut every time Gackt shows up on every media. I will most likely get kicked out of the theater xD

[SymphonicDreams]

Gackt in an american movie is just surreal. I can't stop laughing XD

[PunisherPayne]

I don't know who GACKT is and i could really care less but this definitely looks interesting...

[SoskoVideos]

@PunisherPayne oooooh! You definitely need to search who he is! lol XD but besides that, the movie is supposed to be breathtakingly amazing according to ppl who saw it at film festivals. So it should be pretty epic.

[MeinKomponist]

@PunisherPayne He is the Japanese Michael Jackson, the most successfull Male Solo Artist (Singer)

[needsmoremilk]

Ohh, I still can't believe I've actually just seen that trailer. I've been waiting to see it since 2008, and to finally get to watch it just incredible beyond words! It looks like it's going to be a truly brilliant film...

[columhcille]

OK... who "Disliked" this??? WHO!?!? Just fess up now and the DEARS won't hurt you...maybe.

[columhcille]

notice it's mostly Gackt fans watching all this.... I can't wait to see what the theatres are like on the opening night of this showing.... /screaming girls for Gackt everywhere! omg! I really wonder how many other Gackt fans are in my area!???!! Guess we'll find out!

BTW I'm so wearing the kimono I bought in Asakusa to the theatre to see the movie! That'll be fun! Might make my husband wear his kimono, too! haha.

[rockapottamus629]

FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!! XD

[MJSpice]

KYAAAAAAAA~!!!!!!!!

[columhcille]

"and a samurai with no sword..." .. Y'know.. if it were anyone but Gackt, that would sound pretty pittiful.. but Gackt is beast!

[evergreen1054]

AWESOME!!!

Gackt, I love you!!

I can´t wait!

[iluvcookies91]

What? This movie has other actors in it? I'm sorry but Gackt's overwhelming awesomeness must have blinded me.

This looks bloody brilliant!

[columhcille]

@iluvcookies91 hahah!! iknorite! This isn't a Gackt-documentary about Gackt awesomeness?! what?!

[InVicsMind]

If I could 'like' this infinite times, I would. Team GACKT all the way! :'D

[MilkyLen]

They should have had Gackt say at least one line in the trailer.

[Nekobobchan]

1:43, aw yeah.

[ILoveYouBillKaulitz6]

I wish it was coming out before I go back to school, but whatever. I am so proud of Gackt. I'm so excited to see it! I thought it was going to be independent, but it has so many well know people in it!

[xTenshiAi]

YESSS cant wiat to watchh this!!

[Lazuli8888]

Its almost unreal~~~ I cant believe i finally see a trailer!

GACKT kick them all asses~~

"ASS--HOLE" <---who knows what thz means? XD

[Lazuli8888]

FI*NA*LLY

[xRosesandThorns]

[Koakuma14]

[DarkPhoenixRising]
