Beat Takeshi stars as Hideyoshi in “Kubi” 首, a movie where he’s also involved in the scriptwriting, and also is the director! 

To think that this showed up not long after I shared that old Toyota advertisement! However, unlike the more positive Hideyoshi image in the Toyota ad, the PR of this movie says that the plot follows the “Hideyoshi is the mastermind behind Honnouji” conspiracy. So we can expect a scheming, or even a somewhat sinister Hideyoshi in this production. 

加瀬亮 Kase Ryou will play as Nobunaga, 西島秀俊 Nishijima Hidetoshi as Mitsuhide, 浅野忠信 Asano Tadanobu as Kuroda Kanbei, and 大森南朋 Ōmori Nao as Hideyoshi’s brother Hidenaga. 

It’s always a little strange to me, to see a ridiculously old Hideyoshi when the actor cast as Nobunaga is much younger, but it’s a thing that’s very commonly done in Japanese live action productions and illustrated artwork.

Recently, I've been looking to get into Oils and traditional work with a little more conviction. These are various studies ranging from 1 - 8hrs a piece in an effort to break through the weird fear and get a little more comfortable with the medium.

Trailer for Kitano Takeshi’s “Kubi” movie.

When I saw the initial PR, I had assumed a “sinister traitorous Hideyoshi”, because it said that Hideyoshi was responsible for the Honnouji Incident. However, this trailer is all about how batshit insane Nobunaga actually was, so... well, maybe my assumption was wrong. 

Or, possibly the trailer was just cut in a misleading way. 

We’ll see how this movie actually goes, if I’m able to find a distribution for it in the future. I often say “I’m curious” about movies and dramas, but never end up getting the chance to review it because I can’t find where to watch it.
