Oshii directing feature-length "Assault Girls"
from TokyographDirector Mamoru Oshii's newest project is "Assault Girls," his first feature-length live-action film since "Avalon" in 2001. The sci-fi action story will star Meisa Kuroki (21), Rinko Kikuchi (28), and Hinako Saeki (32).
Oshii previously directed two short films with the "assault girl" theme. The first, titled "Assault Girl: Kentucky no Hinako," was a segment in Oshii's 2007 omnibus movie "Shin Onna Tachiguishi Retsuden" and starred Saeki. The second, "ASSAULT GIRL2," was part of last year's "Kiru ~ KILL" omnibus and starred Kikuchi.
In "Assault Girls," the three lead actresses play assault rifle-wielding hunters fighting monsters known as "sand whales" in a desert battlefield.
The movie appears to be getting a limited theatrical release, starting on December 19.
