Stale Popcorn

I’ve never heard of The Cup Of Tears but I’ve just come across the trailer on Firstshowing.net and I just had to share it with you!

Directed by Gary Shore (an Irish director who, according to his IMDB page, made his directorial debut with The Draft in 2006) it fuses live action and animation, in a look which is reminiscent of Sin City and really does look like a live action anime movie!

According to Firstshowing the movie tells the story of “a scorned geisha who creates a magical cup made of tears that causes any man who drinks from it to fall into a permanent sleep. One night the cup is stolen, setting off a chain of events that threatens civil war amongst the clans. Taro, a gifted samurai, sets out to find the cup and one who can break the spell.”

It sounds pretty cool, but it looks even cooler! Check out the trailer below:

Although the movie is listed as being released in 2010 there doesn’t look like there are any distributors at the moment, but lets hope that that doesn’t delay us getting to see what looks like a very visually stunning movie.
