More amazing Japanese poster artwork for Takashi Miike’s Crows Zero (KurĂ´zu zero). Surprisingly enough in the past 7 days this film has been the most popular title among site readers. In addition and I haven’t said this enough here if your a big fan of Miike then definitely check out the Tom Mes book on Miike - Agitator: The Cinema of Takashi Miike.

The big news today is coming from Tokyograph (read here) who inform us that Takashi Miike’s Crows Zero will be getting a sequel. Apparently this will tie everything up with a nice resounding ending. Expect it to come out sometime in 2009.
