Tajomaru

Just checked Shun's LJ for the first time in a long while...there's been quite a few updates.

Shunbaby was kind enough to post the synopsis of Shun's new movie Tajomaru.
I'll just summarize it...basically it's about Naomitsu (Shun), who is engaged to Princess Ako (Shibamoto Yuki), they were chased away from their home due to a conspiracy of some sort against Naomitsu. They flee to the mountains but were attacked by a bandit called Tajomaru (Matsukata Hiroki), Naomitsu manages to kill him and took his identity.
This movie is based on a 1922 short story 'In a Grove' written by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, which is based on a true story, there are 7 different perspectives of the event, there were witnesses who claimed to have seen the event. the short story was from 1 of the perspectives. There was another film came out in 1950 which was also based on the event.
The character of Tajomaru is going to have a different backstory in this movie.
