...Takeshi Kaneshiro.
New Yorkers will get to check him out as a death-god in Accuracy of Death, which has screenings at the NY Asian Film Festival on July 3 & 4 (what better way to celebrate Independence Day?) The rest of us will have to hope that it has a US distributor which will send it to the local arthouse theatre (currently selling the fuck out by showing Indiana Jones and Sex and the City). And if that doesn't happen, there's always the internets.
The blurb on the NYAFF website is promising, which is good because this seems like it could easily turn into a schmaltzy crapfest. NYAFF referenced Neil Gaiman's Sandman, but watching the trailer I was reminded of the awesome Dead Like Me. Except, instead of Mandy Patinkin, there's a telepathic dog.
I hope it'll get released here, and for now I'm being cautiously optimistic.
