Mamoru Oshii, the legendary Japanese filmmaker who's Ghost in the Shell was a landmark film in the anime genre, is set to begin his first live-action film in more than eight years. The film will star Rinko Kikuchi, the future ex-Mrs. Travis Hopson, and star of both Babel and The Brothers Bloom. Assault Girls will take place in a post-apocalyptic future(don't they all?), where hunters prey on large beasts known as sand whales.
Assault Girls is tentatively scheduled to release on December 19th, and I'm sure my friend Shevonne will be there on December 20th. So will I, probably.
