How on earth did I miss this ...

Was just browsing the ever informative Stauffen and realized that he posted a link to the trailer for We Are Looking For The Moon a little while back.  Stauffen’s a regular read for me - and should be for all of you reading this, as well - so I have no clue how I managed to overlook this since it’s one that I’m quite looking forward to.

Why?  Well, it marks Yosuke Kubozuka’s return to the big screen following his brush with death last summer.  I’m a big, big fan of Kubozuka - if you haven’t seen Ping Pong or GO run, don’t walk, and track them down - and really believe that the young actor could end up being the next Tadanobu Asano, though slightly prettier.  I’ve enjoyed co-star Taro Yamamoto in everything I’ve seen him in as well.  I’m also more than a little curious to see if Kenta “Son of Kinji and co-director of Battle Royale 2 following his legendary father’s death” Fukasaku will be able to step out of his famous father’s shadow now that he has a chance to work on something purely his own.

Verdict on the trailer?  Looks pretty sweet without giving away anything in terms of plot and definitely a good step away from pa’s work.  Check it out.

    Just doing me regular rounds and checked this one out again .... so good ... just realized that there are not one but two GTO alumni in there ...

    Who is the other GTO alumni besides Yosuke Kubozuka? IMDb isn’t helpful here.

  3. Geert Jan 08/14/2005 @ 7:28pm

    Uhg, alumnus I mean…

    Don’t have the name handy but if the guy with the shaved head isn’t the son of the dead biker in GTO then he’s his clone ...

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen GTO, but it the son ot the dead biker the same kid that has a mother who’s a truck driver? This guy? I don’t think that’s him in the trailer.

  6. Todd 08/14/2005 @ 7:40pm

    Yeah, him ... check the shot at the thirty second mark of the trailer ... he’s aged some and ditched the sideburns but I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy ...

  7. Geert Jan 08/14/2005 @ 7:48pm

    I see the resemblance, but I’m pretty sure it’s not the same guy. I think the guy in the trailer is Edison Chen who is in this movie according to IMDb.

  8. Todd 08/14/2005 @ 7:50pm

    If that’s Edison he’s beefed up a bit since the last time I saw him anything ... Of course, that was The Twins Effect so a lot may have changed since then ...
