Josh Hartnett, Gackt, and More Navigate the Hyper-Stylized Samurai Wild West in Fantasy Mash-Up Bunraku

A hyper-stylized, genre-mashing fantasy actioner involving cowboys, samurai, and an axe-wielding Ron Perlman with dreadlocks isn’t exactly what you might have imagined in a film with a title like Bunraku , named for an obscure, 300-year-old form of Japanese puppet theater rarely performed these days. But that’s the film director Guy Moshe made — starring Josh Hartnett , Demi Moore , Woody Harrelson ( Indecent Proposal reunion!), and Kevin McKidd as a dapper, Fred Astaire-like cold-blooded killer, no less — and you’ve got to give him credit for his ballsy vision.

‘Treme’ Actor Michael Showers Found Dead

45-year-old’s body was pulled from the Mississippi River in New Orleans on Wednesday. By Aly Semigran Michael Showers Photo: HBO Actor Michael Showers, perhaps best known for his work as Captain John Guidry on the HBO series “Treme,” was found dead in the Mississippi River early Wednesday morning. He was 45 years old. According to local New Orleans paper the Times-Picayune , authorities said a steamboat captain spotted a body floating in the water near the French Quarter around 11:15 a.m. on Wednesday. The body was recovered from the river at 11:45 a.m. and has been identified as Showers. John Gagliano, chief investigator for the Orleans Parish coroner’s office, told the paper that Showers, who reportedly lived in the nearby Chalmette area, appeared to have been in the water for two days. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. In addition to his role on the Emmy-nominated “Treme,” Showers had turns on other television series including “Breaking Bad” and “The Vampire Diaries.” He appeared on the big screen as well, with roles in “Traffic,” “I Love You Philip Morris” and this year in Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life.” Share your thoughts on and condolences for actor Michael Showers in the comments section below.

Movie stars: they really are just like us!

Wong Kar Wai vs. Terrence Malick: Who’s Got the More Inscrutable Trailer?

Like a phoenix rising from the stagnant pre-New Year’s Eve cesspool of news, here comes the teaser for the new Wong Kar Wai martial arts film The Grandmasters , with Tony Leung kicking and punching his way through…what’s that? There’s no kicking or punching in the teaser? Oh. There’s almost no indication of what the film looks like, you say. That seems about right for today. But here at Movieline HQ, this teaser made us wonder: Is this one-minute blast of calligraphy really any less revealing than the unexplained imagery in the much-drooled-over Tree of Life trailer ?
