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...
