According to Hollywood Reporter, Ron Perlman is set to play the bad guy in a hybrid martial arts movie “Bunraku,” which Guy Moshe is directing from his own script.
Japanese actors Gackt and Shun Sugata also have been cast in the international-flavored movie, which features Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Scottish actor Kevin McKidd and Spanish actor Jordi Molla. Now, that is a mixure!
The film is set in a hyperstylized universe a la “Sin City” and draws from a mixed bag of genres, including puppets, origami, comic books, video games and German expressionism. It follows a drifter (Hartnett) who teams with a samurai (Gackt) to take on an Eastern European gang lord, played by Perlman (”Hellboy”).

Demi Moore signed on for two indie films, working back-to-back. First one is a family drama about miscalculations in life that take pause to angst. Second one is a martial arts story with a warlard, concubine and bartender.
“Happy Tears” includes Parker Posey who stars with Moore as sisters who angst over family relationships. “Bunraku” follows a man on a quest for revenge who finds him fighting a lot more than he imagined. Woody Harrelson also stars as the bartender while Moore plays the concubine. Apparently, the film is set in a la “Sin City” and mixes it up with different genres: German expressionism, video games, comic books, origami and puppets.
