Seven Samurai, 13 Assassins, now this. If all are true, this is fantastic news!!

Now if Zavvi could start doing some cheesy 80's Sword & Sorcery BD steelbooks, I'd be in heaven.

Japanese film? Awesome. Never seen it..think I may have heard of it though. Either ways it'll be pre-ordered day one

It's a pretty good remake of the Zatoichi films from the 60's and 70's. The tone is much more serious compared to the funny/goofy nature of the character from the old movies.

The UK releases cover already looked pretty cool, so I wouldn't mind if the steel is just like that

I would immediately buy all those if they came in steelbooks, even better digibook!

It also had literally the worst ending to anything I've seen, I'm still stunned they did that

Did what? It's been a while since I've seen it so I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I have the DVD tin packaging of this, and the regular Blu-ray of this, but I'll definitely be buying this

This was mentioned a while back on HDN, so I'm glad it's official now

UK - Zatoichoi - Zavvi Exclusive
High quality matte finish with brushed steel on title font. This creates a mad effect which I've tried to photograph from different angles.
