SHOGUN Official Trailer (2024)

Holy shit, I didn't realise this got made. I'm a boomer and remember the show in the '80s. I read the book this year and loved it. It's such a good story told within historical events of Japan

This better not suck... it's impossible to find a good historical samurai movie/series that's actually written well

Yes!

It better be 80% Japanese.

That "3rd Heart" the hidden one, is the Sword.

I can’t wait!!

They might have a black shogun since Disney is making it.

Our general has fallen

Ah shameful dispray

One of my favorite books of all time. This trailer looks epic and promising!

This looks bad

I feel that the plot is gripping, surprising and thought provoking because it has different scenes. My point is that the characters are sometimes violent and really surprising because they are calm and suddenly assassinate. In my view the soundtrack is slow and charming. I believe special effects is fascinating and pleasant.

Remember the original miniseries(?), hyped af!

Good God this looks great

This looks freakin' insane! Can't wait!

Shogun and Japan experts, how would you rate this? Are the traditions etc well portrayed?

Hiroiuki Sanada is one of the best actors around, but the movie looks like a CGI poop fest!

As a regular watcher of NHK's Taiga dramas and jidaigeki in general, I'm kind of intrigued, but at the same time I know from experience that it's highly unlikely, when Hollywood brings forth their orientalist view of Japanese history trying to appeal to the masses, that they haven't completely ruined the source material.

One of the producers is Japanese and there is a noticable lack of Cantonese names in the cast so maybe it'll be watchable. Not sure if it's worth the time to get disappointed again though. Thoughts?

So uninspiring. Nope

Wait a second. A female ninja in Edo era Japan? Yeah, that didn't happen.
