Oh man, let it be for real this time. I got so pumped when the rumor popped up a few months ago that Rurouni Kenshin will be made into a movie starring Takeru Sato but then months passed with nothing.
Now I read a confirmation in Variety.com. Seems shooting will start July and set for a 2012 release date. Please, please let it be true...and I hope my all-time favorite manga doesn't get slaughtered. Well, since Takeru's playing the lead, I'll be keeping my hopes up.
Oro!
