Hartnett To Appear In A Weird Sounding Movie With A Funny Name!!
Merrick here...
Josh Hartnett will appear in BUNRAKU. It's...
a live-action telling a classic story of a stranger coming to town in the tradition of spaghetti Westerns, samurai movies and gangster flicks.
[EDIT]
Hartnett will plays the Drifter, a man set on revenge who finds himself in an even bigger fight than he bargained for.
The film is set in an original universe a la "Sin City" and draws from a mixed bag of genres including puppets, origami, comic books, video games and German expressionism, according to the film's producers.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.
Not sure what to make of this; I'm not ever sure what this means.
Could be one of those funky little projects that works out surprisingly well in a Geeky, HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN sorta way...or it could be completely misguided.
BUNRAKU? Bet the title gets changed to something like "VENGEANCE" real fast...

Is the reason all cameras should be destroyed.
-
Interesting follow up to 30 Days of Night, I'd say...
-
You're like if Chris Klein was remade by a gay guy.If I was as bad at my job as you are, I would have been fired and blacklisted and possibly even exiled to the Cursed Earth by now.How do you do it, Josh Hartnett?
-
To see Josh Hartnett in Bukkake.
Go South High Tigers! -
Sure, I, like billions of others, thought you were good as a dreamy airhead in The Virgin Suicides, but how could any of us have known that you would go on to appear in Town & Country and Pearl Harbor and 40 Days and 40 Nights and Hollywood Homicide and The Black Dahlia and Lucky Number Slevin? Also, Sin City, which I thought was sort of stupid, except for Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis and that bit where Michael Madsen says that line about a 'bum ticker' as though he couldn't give a fuck about this nonsense.What is your secret, J D Hartnett?
-
Fuck him in the ass.
-
Where does all the bizarre animosity toward Hartnett really come from? He's not my favorite actor, but he's nowhere near as bad an actor as these boards would suggest. This kind of savage beatdown should be reserved for seriously bad young actors like Orlando Bloom. How that guy became a star and continues to get work I'll never understand.
-
I want to force Diablo Cody to sit in an empty room for an entire week and listen to this sentence over and over again; "that's one doodle that cant be undid, home-skillet." and when the week is over and I open the door the smell of stale shit and vomit will be overpowered by the soft sobs of a woman who understands that this line is NOT funny
-
The PERFECT trailer to lead right into Rambo.
-
Obviously, all of us knowledgeable film fans were impressed with your resemblence to Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween: Holy Fuck, She Chopped His Fucking Head Off!!, but none of us knew you would still be here ten years later and that would have - several times, I imagine - fucked Scarlett Johansson.How can we be more like you, J to the Hizzle?

He was kinda good in that 30 days of vampire shennanigans thingy
by gilkuliehe
Kinda.

for more Midnight Meat Train fun

where'd you even find that
-
Since that POS, I don't trust Hartnett movies with funny names.
-
I do believe he'd turn you into a fine paste if you tried that.

Ugh. Loving "Hell Comes To Frogtown" doesn't make you cool.
by darth bauer
Even for a crappy b-movie it's not that great.
-
"Bunraku" is a style of Japanese puppet theatre.
Which means, if we're lucky, this movie will show us what "Team America" would have looked like if it were an Akira Kurosawa film... -
Josh (basic A&F hunk) Heart-Net. It's like Calista Flockheart (sounds like she writes romantic novels and has doves flying out of her vagina) or Justin (I'm gay) Timber-lake (but I'm ruggedly outdoorsy too).
Cary Grant chose his name because CG had worked well for Clark Gable and Gary Cooper.
Maybe there's something in it. -
Would make for a MUCH improved title.In In "Bukake" Josh Harnett and the rest of the cast cum all over Harry's face.
Oh and it's sequel will be called "4Chan: The Movie". -
...Jp. Puppetry where the puppeteer is dressed entirely in black. Classic examples include Bruce Schwartz guesting on the Cleo Laine episode of "The Muppet Show", the movie "Dolls", and the episode of "Pokemon" where Jessie and Meowth give James the bunraku treatment so he can claim his fortune.
-
Tommy Lee Jones' son in something. It's spooky how much he's looking like the old bugger these days.
-
Anything that puts creative depth into a movie has my vote. Even if this Bunraku falls on it's face, I'll probably still merit it for doing something different. You can never go wrong with puppets!
-
and i don't care what you think!
-
I keep giving the guy more chances and he keeps blowing it-but he's failed me for the last time I tell ya! I mean Im all for pretty boys proving they can actually act (Leo and Heath being the best examples) but Harnett just cant pull it off nomatter what he's in-even his cameo in Sin City was the worst part of the film.....his last chance was Balck Dahlia which is one of my favourite books but was messed up on screen for a few reasons (well many actually) but Harnett was a major factor. So inclusion-do the flick and drop Josh Hair-Net.
-
that was absolutely terrifying!
-
And when she understands that stuff her back in for another week until she realises that "Honest to Blog" is painful on the ears.
-
"I keep giving the guy more chances and he keeps blowing it-"Do you now Mr. Studio executive? Can we have an apology for Meet The Spartans?
-
although I am not actually an movie executive I officially apologise for meet the spartans...even though I havent seen it cos Im in england and it isnt out here....but actually looking it up it doesnt really look like something the world wants or needs...but I do apologise.
-
I believe most AICNers view: Josh Hartnett is to acting as Brett Ratner is to directing.
-
"I wish I knew how to quit you!"
-
God that makes my ears bleed. Same with when her water breaks and she says "Thundercats are GO!" i wanted to cry. This is what hollywood thinks is oscar worthy?
-
Zazz bitches.
-
That's all I got.
-
I'll be here all week. Please try the veal.
-
would the same degree of hate be applied if Josh Hartnett was cast instead of Shia in Indiana Jones? Come to think it, probably so..
-
it doesn't matter who it would be, people hate everything no matter what it is
-
I would be much happier with Harnett than TheDouche.
The only performance I've appreciated from TheDouche was his death scene in Constantine. -
just wanted to let you know your best friend Glovedone is back. He now goes under Braff08 and he's still a douche bag
-
OLEG LIVES!
-
I write off every movie he is in except Lucky Number Sleven (awful name) which was a decent movie. Also did anyone else watch Halloween H2O while screaming "comb your fucking hair!" everytime he was on screen?
-
Bunraker? Wasn't that also an original Fleming title?
-
Make it so.
-
I was wondering why that thing labeled "Braff08" was humping my leg last night.
-
Anyone see 30 Days of Shyte? Now that I think about it, a puppet show movie is probably appropriate for Hartnett.

Harvey Weinstein just spilled details of next Rambo in EW...
by flickapoo
...carnage in the USA?
-
Maybe hes playing one of the wooden puppets?
-
just earned all sorts of brownie points for name dropping HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN, aka the holy grail of cinema. Excellent taste, sir.

Why couldn't he have died instead of Brad Renfro or Heath Ledger
by jeff_fries
-
in order to be a Bunraku Puppet master,you have to train for 15 years. A puppet is more expressive than that mongoloid Hartnett.
-
Are he and David Boring-ass charisma-sucking brothers? Aside from that, who doesn't want to see big-ass puppets and freaky German expressionist stuff in the same movie?!
-
this..sounds weird.
-
Um, how many does that make?

Josh Hartnett plays the same kind of character in every movie
by guerillakarma
ie; (Narration)It was a cold dark night, she looked so cold, I put my jacket on her, we kiss....blah blah...
-
Is that dude ever gonna get rid of his bowl haircut? How bout some acting lessons dude?
-
exactly man, exactly...I still cant get my head around heath even though I was JUST growing to respect the guy.....seemed to be one of the potentials fo the greats.....
-
...and it's a damn shame that he's so wooden and is such a charisma vacuum, because in terms of picking potentially quality projects and people to work with he has better taste and a better eye than 90% of hollywood. I don't hate Harnett, I just wish the boy could act and make good on the roles and films that he chooses.
-
Time for another one of those spaghetti western/samurai/puppet/origami/expressionistic flicks again. Sigh.
-
Come on. Wikipedia that shit.
-
New title me thinks.
-
Me hopes.
-
'nough said.
-
This guy cannot, I REPEAT, cannot fucking act! He is the same in every role. He always looks to be constipated and mumbles every line. His luck has got to be close to running out. Hope he saved some of his money!
-
It's called being extremely good-looking. More of you would understand this if you were gay guys or women.
-
then you would save yourself a lot of time coming on here and whining about Josh Hartnett whenever AICN writes a story about him. He's undeniably quite good in that film. In general, I like the guy; he only falls a little flat when he goes with his "Monotonous Noir Guy" impression like in Black Dahlia.
-
makes him look like Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber.
-
go back to modeling for tommy hilfiger. prissy boy fa*
