"Sakura - Blue-eyed samurai" (2008 movie)

[Fred27]

Plot summon:

Set in Japan in 1866, centers on an American counsel who travels to the land of the rising sun where his daughter Sakura, which means cherry blossom, is learning the way of the samurai

Movie link

Its still in production according to the above link and I got release date...It still sounds interesting. Any samurai movie without Tom Cruise is a good samurai movie.

I was going to make fun of the cast, what with William Baldwin in it but Cary Elwes is next on the list and I always rated him [don't know why]. I thought he'd have made a good Peter Parker if the films were looking for an older Spider-Man.

Is this gonna get main stream cinema release? We've been hoping for another samurai movie to do another push, maybe in conjunction with one of the local cinemas.

That is going to be terrible but we are looking at a possible revenue generator for local dojos.

I just did some reading. (no It did not hurt my braincells thank you very much!)

Shooting started as early as 2004 but the movie isn't released yet. Photos & trailers are scarce too.
I've only found one photo so far:
