Now that we know that an Onimusha movie is in the works, the first big question that I’m sure came to mind was, “Is Takeshi Kaneshiro going to be in it?” After all, Samanosuke Akechi is already modeled and voiced by the well-known half-Taiwanese and half Japanese actor. It would only make sense, right?

Well, Onimusha fans, you can now let go of that breath you’ve been holding. According to aintitcool.com, Onimusha’s director-to-be, Christophe Gans, has confirmed (With an “Of course”) that Takeshi Kaneshiro will indeed be in Onimusha.

There hasn’t been Onimusha news for awhile, but this one should make up for all that: Onimusha is getting a movie!

Screendaily.com is reporting that director Christoph Gans (Silent Hill) has signed on to direct the estimated $70 million film. The movie is still a bit of ways away though, as production is not set to start until February 2008, with a planned release date of December 2009.
