Movie trailer for Robogeisha [Jp], a 2009 Japanese cult film by Noboru Iguchi. An awesome piece of sh!t with plenty of WTF moment from beginning till the end. A bit unsafe for work; not for kids…
Japanese weirdness to the max [video via Doctorexploitation@Youtube].
Trailers for Ninja Assassin, starring Korean pop star Rain, his first leading role in a Hollywood film. Looks like a typical Hollywood action movie, but not bad…
Rain plays an assassin who was trained to be a killing machine since he was a kid; but ran away from the group after seeing his friend mercilessly executed by the clan. He later saved a Europol agent (Naomie Harris) who is investigating the organisation and the duo work together to bring down the clan.
Check out previous video and photos of Rain training with the stunt and martial arts team. The movie will release in American cinemas on November 25.

Korean stars Go Soo and Son Ye-jin posed for November issue of Cosmopolitan magazine [Kr]; the duo is starring in Into the White Night which is screening next month. The film is Go Soo’s first movie since his enlistment in 2006; the hype is further sparkled with news that Son is going nude for the love scene.
Korean drama IRIS’s OST, titled Don’t Forget, sung by Baek Ji-young. The MV only focused on the love triangle between the three main characters in the spy-action thriller, played by Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-hee and Jung Jun-ho…
Nice song; Baek Ji-young did well to bring out the sorrow and emotions. Would be great to have a clean (without conversation) version.
IRIS is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of the year. The star-studded show opened strongly on October 14; its English subbed episodes are scheduled to start showing on KBS World channel (lucky me lol) on Nov 11.
Other co-stars include Kim Seung-woo, Kim So-yeon and Choi Seung-hyeon.

The first official trailer for Chinese movie Confucius, starring Chow Yun-Fat, Chen Jianbin and Zhou Xun etc. has been released…
Video game developer Square Enix has released a seven-minutes long Japanese trailer for Final Fantasy XIII at the Tokyo Game Show 2009…
The Final Fantasy console game series was revolutionary in the 80s and 90s, popularising the role-playing-game (RPG) genre with its well written plots and high quality visuals & soundtracks.
Not sure if the game will appeal to younger generation these days; but for RPG gamers who grew up in that era, it’s a highly anticipated game for sure.
FFXIII will be released in Japan in December 2009 on PS3. Xbox and international versions estimated to be available in spring 2010.

Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao and pop singer Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls are set to star in a Filipino movie, titled “Wapakman”.
Pacquiao, nicknamed Pacman, is one of the world’s top boxer and highest paid sportsman; while Nicole, the lead singer for PCD is actually a half Filipina… so, it actually makes sense for the duo to work together in a Filipino production.
Pacman will play a superhero in the action comedy with Nicole the leading lady; Filipino-Greek wrestler Dave Batista will play the villain [image via Pinoygigs]
