Tarantino plays Piringo in Miike’s latest Django homage
Tuesday, 24 July 2007
Takashi Miike, the japanese director of such controversial cult films as ‘Ichi the Killer’, ‘New Graveyard of Honor’ and ‘Audition’, is putting the finishing touches on his latest masterpiece, a homage to the stylish classics of Japanese and Italian cinema, movies like The Seven Samurai, A Fistful of Dollars and most of all Django. The movie is called SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO and stars a number of up and coming Japanese stars, a stylish action movie that transcends genre barriers, and features none other than Quentin Tarantino in a cameo role as Piringo. The trailer on Sony’s official movie website does not offer a glimps of that cameo but the website offers a picture. Check out some information on the film, a picture of Quentin Tarantino dressed up in a cowboy hat and links to website and trailer in our wiki RIGHT HERE: <LINK_TEXT text=“http://www.tarantino.info/wiki/index.ph … rn:_Django”>http://www.tarantino.info/wiki/index.php/Sukiyaki_Western:_Django</LINK_TEXT>
Nice, can’t wait to see it. What languange will he speak, I wonder. Japanse? Dubbed Japanese? English? Turkish?
the trailer sounded like it’s all gonna be semi-japanese. the japanese tend to mix stuff sometimes, the movie looks like the strangest mix of elements anyhow. but looks great
I’d love to get to see this in a theatre.
I was under the impression it was all going to be in English. Haha, is that QT wearing a poncho?
Tarantino talks about his role, a really small bit, the rest isn’t in english… but it seems to confirm he will be in it.

As far as I can tell, from the little Japanese that I know, all Miike really talks about is the Japanese actors speaking English in the film.
thanks for posting that

The Venice Film Festival opens its 75th anniversary edition Wednesday with an all-world premiere competition for the coveted Golden Lion and a cascade of stars including George Clooney, Keira Knightley and Woody Allen.
In their constant search for new talent and cinematic trends, the organizers of the world’s oldest running film festival reached out to young directors this year.
Opening the 11-day festival is “Atonement,” the screen adaptation of Ian McEwan’s best-selling novel starring Knightley and James McAvoy and directed by 35-year-old Joe Wright. Venice closes Sept. 8 with the Hong Kong-Taiwanese gangster-thriller “Blood Brothers” by first-time director Alexi Tan.
But some Venice veterans will be making a return, including Oscar-winning director Ang Lee, who, two years after previewing “Brokeback Mountain” at the Lido returns with “Lust, Caution,” a Chinese-language spy-thriller set in World War II.
Venice always courts controversy, and this year it centered around the organizers’ notation of Lee’s film as originating from “Taiwan, China.” Taiwan complained that the label suggests the self-ruled island is part of mainland China.
Under director Marco Mueller, who took over four years ago, the festival also has earned a reputation for spawning major award contenders: Films launched at Venice over the last three years have garnered 51 Oscar nominations.
This year’s selection are heavily weighted toward Anglo-American productions with an unprecedented seven English-language films. Mueller has been criticized for being under Hollywood’s sway, but he has said that some of the strongest films were emerging from the English-language world, often grappling with the issue of politics and war.
The theme is expressed in Brian De Palma’s oddly titled “Redacted,” a series of stories about U.S. soldiers in Iraq, and Paul Haggis’ “In the Valley of Elah,” which tells the tale of an Iraq war veteran gone missing after his return from a tour of duty.
Also vying for the top prize at Venice are “Michael Clayton,” starring George Clooney in a legal drama about a corporate firm battling a class-action lawsuit, and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” starring Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck and Sam Shepherd.
Woody Allen premieres his “Cassandra’s Dream,” which is showing out of competition. Starring Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell, it tells the story of two brothers — one a chronic gambler and another in love with a beautiful actress — who try to improve their lives and become entangled in a sinister situation.
Kenneth Branagh is presenting a remake of the 1972 film “Sleuth,” with Michael Caine appearing this time as a wealthy writer engaged in a battle of wits with a young actor having an affair with his wife. Jude Law reprises Caine’s 1972 role as the younger man.
Asia is as always well-represented in Venice, with four movies in the main competition. Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike will be showing his “Sukiyaki Western Django,” a Japanese interpretation of the Italian Spaghetti Western of the 1960s and 1970s starring Quentin Tarantino — a complement to the Spaghetti Western retrospective being held on the festival sidelines.
American director Tim Burton will be presented with a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement by Johnny Depp, who started in such Burton creations as “Edward Scissorhands.”
While the Venice festival celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is the 64th edition of the festival, which was periodically canceled due to war and other reasons.
The Golden Lion will be presented in a gala ceremony on Sept. 8.
