Kevin covered this back when it was announced only three short months ago and now a brief teaser trailer for Yurusarezaru mono (A Thing That Can’t Be Forgiven), a remake of Clint Eastwood‘s Unforgiven starring Ken Watanabe (Inception) has arrived.
The film, an adaptation of David Webb Peoples‘ script, was written and is currently in the process of being directed by Sang-il Lee and reimagines Unforgiven as a samurai feature set in 1880. I haven’t seen an official synopsis to suggest exactly how this remake will play out, but the original found Eastwood and Morgan Freeman playing a pair of outlaws who venture out one last time to collect a bounty offered by a group of prostitutes looking for justice due to violence against one of their own.
Along with Watanabe, Yurusarezaru mono co-stars Akira Emoto, Jun Kunimura, Yuya Yagira, Eiko Koike, Shiori Kutsuna and Koichi Sato and is expected to hit theaters in Japan in September 2013.
