Casshern Hi-Bandwith (http://www.apple.co.jp/quicktime/trailers/casshern_large.html)

Casshern Lo-Bandwith (http://www.apple.co.jp/quicktime/trailers/casshern_medium.html)

These links go to the Apple.co.jp trailers for some Japanese movie called Casshern. I have no idea what it is about but the special effects in the second half of the trailer(when the horrible guitar starts playing) look incredible.

You grab this link from p-a?  I don\'t want to click on it if it\'s the same trailer posted on there...

Man that kicks ass, I\'ve been wondering with Japan being the leader in tech why haven\'t they even come close to Hollywood with live-action FX.  Guess this will finally set the bar higher.

I\'d still like to see humans flying around to fight like DBZ.  I think Matrix 3 does this the best (don\'t laugh :p).

edit- even more amazing they\'re reporting the budget was only $6 million usd!

That\'s pretty impressive on a 6 million dollar budget.

Just goes to show how much better Hollywood movies could be if they didn\'t have to budget 100 million just on salaries.
