My Shogun trailer

[mallinazable]

too bad that where should be portugues language or latin it is english.in rest it seems to be a great movie ! i will search for it !

[mariustaboo]

Read the novel, it's wonderfull

[yassersami]

used to be my favourite TV series ever at a time!

I almost know it by heart! was fond of Japan!

[InfectedKitsune]

God this book gets so boring, but interesting. and you have to learn part of the Japanese language to properly understand. But no worries, it teaches you of the Japanese language and how to pro-nun-ciat it.

[radeqster]

yeah ... try watcing the ENTIRE special DVD of the series (actually 5 of them) in one day. (i forgot to count the chopped off heads :))

Toshiro Mifune was a very different director, and did fantastic movies. But he was only known in art houses back then. No way a Western production company would have done this.

I think the Japanese casting really supported this and made it a success. As a kid, helped me get a real interest in Japan.

[Doug19752533]

would love to see Whirlwind made into a movie, although i think in this volitile world the Iranians would get ticked off easily

[leandroearth]

beautiful

excelent novel....

wonderful

[Dracopol]

3:20 It was a mini-series, not a motion picture.

[094Dasha]

yeah it's a great book.  Im half way ..no more than half way through the book now. Thanks for this trailer!

[Doug19752533]

Shogun is one of my favorite books ever. ive read it probably about 7 times. although a little different from the book, the miniseries is fathful to it, as it was done under Clavells supervision. i only wish Tai Pan was done in a similar way. was glad to see Noble House done as a mini series, Gai-Jin was a fairly boring book, but Whirlwind would be excellent, although with current tensions in the middle east, might be hard to make and maybe not too well recieved

[awazha]

Akira Kurosawa really disliked the series .. and he criticized Toshiro Mifunes involvement in it

[PUnitProduction]

I will have to look into that. Great Director!

[Emyrsaurus]

Yup it figures seeing as i stopped reading the book 600 pages in :D

[Doug19752533]

@Emyrsaurus wow you stopped before it got good! ive read it about 6 times. never get tired of it

[megathria]

@awazha i think that came about from a rift between Mifune and Kurosawa. they had a falling out after the filming of red beard. the film took a long time to film and caused an amount of stress on everyone involved, especially on the relationship with Kurosawa and Mifune.

[awazha]

this is a fuking wonderful novel .. its muther fuking EPIC Gai-jin yaro!!

[Doug19752533]

@awazha just as long as they dont make Gai Jin a movie, was a crappy book.

[wickedshadow83]

i just finished the book :D

now I need some sleep :P

[payu1st1993]

Where I can watch it? (is`t the series or the movie?)

[awazha]

old seris

[Emyrsaurus]

my god this is bad compared to the book

[JBXyooj]

Its a Great Novel... Sadly in the end... We all know who wins. :D

[TokellinXX9Y]

hells yeah. great novel best book i'll ever read!!

the only problem is that you put your voice in twice, with a trailer in between...

[spajvc]

fantastic movie and fantastic book , best novel ever love it <3

[WitchfynderGeneral23]

Good job. Reminds me of this fantastic novel.

[carmyvi23]

Does anyone know where i can find a trailer for Noble House...The one Starring Pierce Brosnan and Deborah Raffin...Thanx.

[PUnitProduction]

I think they recently released this on dvd.

[alexandruvis]

if you read Shogun, please read Taipan and Noble House too they are great. James Clavell is my favorite writer

[princeplato]

I am finished. the characters stay with me forever.

Thanks for your post.

[megabulle]

if you have the death of mariko, can you please upload it ?? PLEASE!! I'm loocking for that scene!!!!

thanks!! :)

[PUnitProduction]

Sorry I don't.

[automaticman83]

AUGH SPOILER

[reiske8]

Dammit D; I'm on page 804 of the book and this....Arrrgh such a spoiler...

[TokellinXX9Y]

how do you think i feel? i'm on page 304... now i pretty much know he becomes something great...

[automaticman83]

I'm currently on page 180 out of 1152 of this book. I simply love it so far. I plan on watching the movie when I'm done, having heard of it before. From what I can tell, it's a pretty accurate depiction of the book, and because of that I'm left to wonder how long the movie is!

[automaticman83]

Found from Wikipedia:

The television miniseries, Shogun, was produced in 1980. Nine hours long (twelve, including commercials), it aired over five nights. It starred Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune, Yoko Shimada, and John Rhys-Davies. It was edited into a two-hour version for theatrical release.

Personally, I'll try and find the 9 hour long series. Thanks for the trailer

[PUnitProduction]

Yes, great book and a well done series! Continue with the Asian Saga when you finish shogun!

[princeplato]

The nine house series is available online....

[megabulle]

verry good trailer. Thanks for sharring it

[achalter]

god dammit, i sooo damn loved this movie(s)

[Manjiguru]

I've read this book!! I absolutely LOVE it!! ^_^ A little pervy, though, neh? XD

[reiske8]

Lol the pevyness made it all the more interesting xD I laughed my ass off when they offered him a duck for his uh..."pleasure" xD

[Manjiguru]

That was hilarious! "Do you think he's like one of the Garlic Eaters?" XD

[avermillion]

well done! The only thing I can correct is the opening voice over. THe ship Erasmus is not Piloted by Major Blackthorne, but by Pilot-Major Blackthorne.

[PUnitProduction]

Ah yes, thanks to all the corrections. At the time I did not have the book on hand, just a VHS tape. Thanks for the feedback and questions. I have a website, .theasiansaga. com but I have not had time to add any content. If you're a fan of the series, I could use the help!

[avermillion]

I am reading Shogun for the third time. Last time I read it was in 96, the first time was while I was actually in Japan. My favs in order of fav is; Shogun, Tai-Pan, King Rat and Nobel House. I thought Gai-Jin was the worst of the lot.

[PUnitProduction]

Ah Gai Jin was ok, didnt pick up until the fire. Shame that was his last book but third in the series...I would love to know what he had planned for the future.

[diedra]

wow excellent job !!!!

[moppsi]

Maybe here:

[calixtomancom]

can anyone tell me where can I buy the dvd with the all episodes?

[APO15332]

You definately have a future in producing movie trailers.  This one is very well made, very professional looking

[Foebane72]

This is good! I already have this picture on DVD and love it, and I've recently gotten the book itself, and what a monster it is!

[floris80]

These 3 ships didn't set sail from Japan as you say at the beginning. They set sail from Holland. Blackthorne was an english pilot on a Dutch ship. That's why in the first minute of your trailer he's called a heretic Dutchman.

[floris80]

Correction: Japan in the first sentence is of course England.

[PUnitProduction]

ah right, I forgot that. Ah cripes! It was for a school project but I forgot to use my brain.

[gorlestonboy]

I have had the box set of the series, on video, for the past 10 years at least. I understand that the dvd of the whole series is now available.

I remember when I watched the T.V. series as a youngster in the early Seventies, and it was a must see every week, for I think nine weeks. Fantastic stuff.

[PUnitProduction]

The asian Saga is the best...Noble House is damn good.

[alkina31]

Excellent job.

[kyamazuki]

The live action is 12 hours+ because it follows the book exactly.

[AmbitiousFencer]

I love the novel as well, and i have yet to see the live-action version. The commercials made me want to watch it badly though; is there anywhere i can find it online?
