Still waiting on a legit trailer for Tak Sakaguchi’s Samurai Zombie, but for now we can watch 55 seconds of footage at the tail end of a recent press event for the film. You can find the clip embedded after the break. Thanks to 24fps (via Quiet Earth) for the heads up.
Plot: A family find themselves confronted by relentless, worm-infested zombies in samurai armor after an encounter with a strange couple with guns on a remote mountain trail.
This is the second film directed by Sakaguchi, the first being Be a Man! Samurai School which came out in the beginning of this year. Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Alive) wrote the screenplay and picked the cast headlined by cross-dressing comedian and TV personality Yakkun Sakuraduka.
Stills:
Press event clip:
“Samurai Zombie” is slated for release in Japan sometime next year.
