That was a quick announcement.  Didn't this just open in the UK last week?  Wonder if there will be an Asian dvd release first since it opened in theaters there a couple of months ago.  Still no sign of it in theaters in central Texas.

Dieing to see this.

I'm not Chris, but I saw this in July and thought it was actually pretty decent.  I went in with extremely low expectations, with this being a live-action anime adaptation and all, but was pleasantly surprised.  My only complaints were the slightly sub-par acting performances from the Western actors and the cheezy overuse of CGI blood spray, but that comes with the territory in these hyper-stylized live-action anime movies......Eagerly awaiting a US release date for this.

And Gianna Jun looks extremely sexy in the film, wielding that sword.  I'm sure Mr. Gould would agree.    

Chris Gould wrote: Yes, the Korean lass was fit. Couldn't they find any Japanese actresses though?

Suppose they could have, but IIRC, this film was made specifically for her as a star vehicle to help her eventually crossover to doing American films.

Korean Actress in Blood Vampire I have always liked this Korean actress, name she uses in her Korean films is Jeon Ji-hyun.   One of them was a horror film called "Uninvited" which I really enjoyed and she was also in "Il Mare" (Korean version much better than U.S. remake).  I look forward to seeing her in this film, blu-ray will be the way I go for this one.

Haven't seen this yet and from reviews above looks like I do need to see it.....

The anime was only ok for me though...
