Official website is up, no new info yet, but that picture looks interesting.

“It’s about a man who seeks revenge against a villain who took away his sight and slaughtered his wife and daughter,” Yanagimoto says; director Mitsutake stars along with stage actor Jeffrey James Lippold (top photo below), among others. “Eight years after the massacre, the blind man returns to the village as a highly trained samurai swordsman for revenge, but he doesn’t know that seven assassins await, hired by the villain and after his head.”

Another cool feature is Samurai Avenger Lone Wolf Blood -Episode 24- a short the director created to finance the movie might be included on the DVD. That one looks like a quite fun splatter/chambara mashup too. More info on the short on his website under director’s work: http://www.kurandomitsutake.com/

“Samurai Avenger: Lone Wolf Blood - Episode 24” was a short film that I directed to raise money for the feature “Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf”.
So it is not available for public at this point but we might include it on “Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf” DVD in the future.”

Looks interesting.

I like that it was shot in the US, it should hopefully distance itself from recent films in the same vein.

The Trailer for this film is out now, you can grab it at the main page ( http://samuraiavenger.com/ ).

But what Blind Wolf doesn’t know is that Flesher has hired seven assassins to kill him at all costs. An assassin with sexy bikini dancers. A femme fetale with hypnotic power. A samurai who sold his soul to the devil. A witch who enslaves samurai zombies. A mercenary with his cowboy gunslinger sidekicks...and more

Sounds fun
