Josh Hartnett has battled savage vampires in Alaska. Now the actor will be entering a new world of martial arts in "Bunraku" for indie producers Snoot Entertainment.
Although the film takes its name from a form of traditional Japanese puppet theater, "Bunraku" is a live-action telling a classic story of a stranger coming to town in the tradition of spaghetti Westerns, samurai movies and gangster flicks.
Guy Moshe ("Holly") is writing and directing.
Hartnett plays the Drifter, a man who finds himself in a bigger fight than he bargained for.
The film is set in an original universe a la "Sin City" and draws from a mixed bag of genres including puppets, origami, comic books, video games and German expressionism, according to the film's producers.
Producers are eyeing a spring start date in Europe.
Hartnett's upcoming films include "I Come With the Rain" with helmer Tran Anh Hung ("The Scent of Green Papaya") and "August," which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.

UK, February 1, 2008 - Pearl Harbor and Sin City star Josh Hartnett has signed up to appear in the martial arts movie Bunraku.
The actor, most recently seen on the big screen in the vampire-themed 30 Days of Night, will play an unnamed, revenge-seeking drifter in an alternate universe, with the movie billed as a "'spaghetti-western-samurai-gangster mashup." That's according to a report in Variety.
The project is directed by Guy Moshe, whose only previous entry on his CV is the depressing Cambodian sex trade drama Holly.

The crazy-sounding movie, which is apparently inspired by an eclectic mix of sources including Japanese puppet theatre, videogames and German expressionism, begins filming in the spring.
