Just keep going. As an actor, I keep following my instincts. I acted in Japan for 40 years and in Hollywood for 20, and I put all of that experience into. But as a producer, that was my very first project, so a new career has just begun for me. My next mission is to continue finding good projects and introduce more of our Japanese story and our talent and crews to the world.
Yeah, it’s a shame, right? No Mariko, no Yabushige, no Hiromatsu. Those lovely characters are gone. The actor Tokuma Nishioka, who played Hiromatsu, said in an interview recently that he and Yabushige would be coming back as zombies. I have no idea yet. But they very well could come back somehow. Who knows? Ghosts? Flashbacks? Another character’s dream? The first season was shot in British Columbia.
Well, we planned to shoot some of season one in Japan, but because of the pandemic, we gave up. Now we’re discussing shooting some part of season two there, if it’s possible. But we’re not sure what percentage. But shooting in Vancouver was great. It’s very hard to find a large-scale place in Japan without modern buildings in view. This is a big period drama, so it’s tough. I’m hoping we can do at least some in Japan though. We’re trying.
In that vein, I wanted to ask if you could make a few recommendations for fans. The well of samurai film history in Japan is incredibly deep.fans have at least a year or two before season two can possibly be ready, so could you recommend a couple of your favorite samurai films for them to check out in the meantime? I always recommend your film with Yoji Yamada,.] That was the last samurai film I shot in Japan, so I’m glad to hear that people still appreciate it.
