Gackt knows some martial arts. I don't know how good he is, but he does know some. I read that Guy Moshe, the guy directing the movie, personally went to Japan and asked Gackt to play the part of Yoshi. He had seen him play in Fuurin Kazan in Japan and thought he would be perfect for the part. Gackt finally accepted, so that's why he has the part.

I don't really know any of the other actors. My dad does, though, and says they are really popular. I'm curious about seeing more pictures and finding out a rating on this film.

It's not a 'spaghetti western'.

At first it sounded like crap, but with a cast of:

Ron Perlman
Josh Hartnett
Demi Moore
Woody Harrelson

it might work...

I found this short description on this link if you want to read it. I don't know if it's true, being the site that it is, but it seems to have the most information right now.

I'll post new pictures as soon as I can find some. I can't seem to find any more yet.

I know Josh Hartnett is really popular in the US, but I'm gonna see it just for Gackt. And I don't know how much martial arts he knows, but he had to do some action stuff for Moon Child as well, so it's not like he's not used to getting his hands dirty.

I have high expectations. I just wish they'd have chosen a person with a LOT of martial arts experience, I guess... >.> Personal opinion. Don't hate.

I don't hate. I just have a soft spot for pretty boys and won't hear a word against my fandoms.

Tak is a pretty boy... >.>

Plus he was a fighter before he became an actor.

Although, Gackt has done work for..... Moon Child, and he was the character model, and did all the moves for Lau in the video game, Bujingai. So.... I guess he'll do. : P

All right, I looked him up, and he is not bad looking. Definetly in the pretty boy category.

But to compare him,



to Gackt, King of Pretty Boys,


Just doesn't seem fair to the poor guy.

That's not Tak at his best.. >.> He looked horrible in Shinobi: Heart Under Blade. xD
