Shun Oguri to play Tajomaru!
 

Shun Oguri (Western Sukiyaki Django, The Neighbor No. 13) will be playing the bandit lead from the Kurosawa film Rashomon in the upcoming film Tajomaru. The film will be directed by Samurai Fiction director Hiroyuki Nakano.

I'm very excited. Tajomaru is one of my favorite characters ever. Especially as played by Toshiro Mifune. I can't wait to see what Oguri-san can do with the material.

This should be great!

That does sound great! hes a good actor ;)
