‘Bushido’, Hiro Murai Teaming Up with A24 for Feature Samurai Debut

[Lootpack]

EXCLUSIVE: Hiro Murai, one of today’s most influential and in demand directors of television and music videos, has found his long-awaited first feature project in Bushido, an original samurai film to be produced and financed by A24.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, Bushido is said to be a high-stakes action film set against the backdrop of feudal Japan.

Murai will direct from a script by Henry Dunham (The Standoff at Sparrow Creek), with the duo to produce alongside Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen for Square Peg, and the 2AM trio of Julia Oh, Christine D’Souza Gelb and David Hinojosa.

Been waiting on this for a while now. Hiro’s one of the best in the game. Just brings that extra polish to a project, whether it’s FX’s Atlanta or a music video.
