All Josh Hartnett needs is his fists to kick some serious butt in the newest teaser for "Bunraku."
Who needs set-up for a movie when a minute-long video clip can just show Hartnett beating up on baddies left and right? Clearly his character, The Drifter, has some anger issues to deal with. "Bunraku" first premiered as an official selection during Midnight Madness at 2010's Toronto International Film Festival, and is slated to hit theaters on September 30. Though this trailer only shows off Hartnett's skills fighting his enemies, the movie does have a lot more to offer -- "It's not all about fighting," Woody Harrelson's character tells The Drifter, though he doesn't exactly agree.
Coming from director Guy Moshe, "Bunraku" is inspired by the style of Japanese puppet theater from which it got its name. The CGI-heavy film mixes shadow-play fantasy with the reality that we saw in this teaser.
"Bunraku" follows Nicola the Woodcutter, played by Ron Perlman, as a shadowy crime boss who rules everything east of the Atlantic. He is flanked by his lady Alexandra, played by Demi Moore, and Killer #2, played by Kevin McKidd. One night, a drifter -- Hartnett -- heads to the Headless Horseman Saloon to set about killing Nicola. He teams up with a samurai named Yoshi, played by Gackt, and the two go about bringing down Nicola.
