Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning western Unforgiven has been remade as Yurusarezaru mono, a Japanese samurai film starring Inception's Ken Watanabe, who also worked with Eastwood on Letters From Iwo Jima. If you're irked that a classic like Unforgiven is being remade as a foreign film just remember that Eastwood only has a movie career thanks to the success of A Fistful of Dollars, itself a remake of the Japanese samurai film Yojimbo.
Watanabe plays a samurai with a fearsome reputation as a swordsman who is living in retirement on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido when poverty and a large bounty tempt him into action again.
Yurusarezaru mono opens this fall.
Via ComingSoon.
