A little campy gem here dug up by our very own wooden lad ... apparently much loved Japanese auteur Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who has always been a lover of pulp film, cowrote a James Bond spoof titled 0093 somewhere along the line and now the book has been translated to the big screen. The trailer has appeared online and this is goofy, intentionally lo-fi stuff that should be an absolute blast. If only they could've gotten Koji Yakusho in the lead ...
** UPDATE **
Oh, look. Auto translators aren't reliable after all. Having had someone who actually speaks the language take a look at the site in question (thanks Jason!) it turns out that Kurosawa's involvement is rather overstated. Turns out the reference on the website is to a book on horror film that Kurosawa co-wrote with this film's director some time back. The actual writer of this picture is Jun’ya Katô who previously penned Meatball MAchine and was involved with the Ten Nights of Dreams omnibus.
Sounds like we may have a mis-translation of some of the information on the website then, Jason. Would you mind taking a look at the cast/crew page on the 0093 website and letting us know what it says about authorship ...
The joys of covering things in a language I don't speak ...
Screenwriter is Jun'ya Katô, who wrote Meatball Machine (which I think Gomorrahizer covered about 42 times) and Ten Nights of Dreams.
Maybe Kurosawa will pop up in a cameo.
