When I first wrote about a horror film that Ryuhei Kitamura was producing, for a regular screenwriter of his own projects Isao Kiriyama, details were slim. Well, I’ll allow that we still don’t know a lot but we know a bit more than we did back including the premise of the film.

“Yoroi does not involve a girl with long hair, nor a videotape, cell phone or a camera. Rather it will go to the next level,” Kitamura said. Instead it will be about a hostage family, robberies and samurai zombies. This marks the directorial debut of Isao Kiriyama. Kitamura will produce the film along with Shinya Kawai [The Ring], who doesn’t have the same tale of the tape in horror film like other Ringu producer Takashige Ichise, I know, but he may know enough to make this a promising project and debut.

Okay, so the only things new are the producers, a hostage family and robberies. We’re getting there.

    Im not really a fan of horror but it sounds pretty interesting.

    It already sounds like a Kitamura movie and it’s cool of him to give previous collaborators a shot at directing their own feature. I wonder how much actual input he can have on the production considering he’s up to his neck in Hollywood projects.

    Doesn’t sound anything like a horror film. But somehow that doesn’t surprise me all that much.

    Samurai Zombies? I’m in.

    Define “horror”. This sounds like it’ll be similar to BATTLEFIELD BASEBALL in tone, i.e. a horror comedy.
