Years before his critically acclaimed role in FX's Shogun, Hiroyuki Sanada starred in the 2013 war film, The Railway Man. It will be streaming on Prime Video starting March 13.

The rest of The Railway Man's cast included Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, Jeremy Irvine and Stellan Skarsgård. Firth stars as Eric Lomax, a former British army officer and prisoner of war, who discovers that the Japanese interpreter who tortured him during World War II is actually still alive. Lomax and his wife, Patricia (Kidman), travel to Thailand to confront the man (Sanada). The Railway Man was an adaptation of Lomax's 1995 autobiography of the same name.

Anna Sawai, star of FX's award-winning historical drama Shōgun, has responded to rumors she's attached to play Yoko Ono in a series of four Beatles biopics directed by Sam Mendes. The actress told reporters at the Screen Actor's Guild Awards following her winning outstanding performance by an actress in a drama series, "I think a rumor is just a rumor." So we likely won't be seeing Sawai as Ono anytime soon.

As far as what her next project might be, Sawai says she is still looking. "I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do, so I'm reading a lot of scripts. I'm also doing a lot of meetings and I just want to make sure that what I’m choosing is the right thing. So it might take time for me to find the right project, but I'm trying to be selective so that I can...

Directed by Seiji Tanaka, Demon City is just a bunch of high-octane, adrenaline-pumping, blood-soaked action sequences put together. I don’t deny that the premise of a man wanting to take revenge on a local Yakuza group for the murder of his family had potential, but there is absolutely no depth in the narrative. There is a man who is capable of doing things that defy logic and science, and he just walks into the Yakuza den and kills them all. We never get to know what kind of people inhabit the world, what their motivations are, what their belief systems are, and what they want to achieve in their lives. Also, I couldn’t help but observe how much the writers were inspired by John Wick; only if they understood that having a kind of a similar backstory and making the protagonist drive an old car is not enough.

Shogun is picking up some major wins at the SAG Awards. These mark the latest of many accolades acquired by the hit FX series following its debut last year.

The SAG Awards were held on Feb. 23 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. Multiple major awards were picked up by Shogun at the event. This includes series star Anna Sawai winning for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role as Toda Mariko. She overcame fellow nominees Kathy Bates (Matlock), Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Allison Janney (The Diplomat), and Keri Russell (The Diplomat).

Jerry London, the director of NBC's 1980 Shogun miniseries, has slammed the 2024 FX show of the same name. In a recent interview, London called the show 'not entertaining' for American audiences.

London's 1980 historical miniseries was also based on James Clavell's Shogun novel, and it received positive reviews and several awards, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series, the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series (Drama) and a Peabody Award in 1981. In 2024, FX produced a new adaptation of Clavell's novel which has been enjoying similar success, nabbing 18 Emmy Awards and becoming the most awarded single season of television in Emmy history.

FX's historical drama Shogun has received an exciting update for its second season after dominating the Critics' Choice Awards. The show won an impressive four of its six nominations, including Best Drama Series.

Shogun series creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks spoke with Deadline backstage at the awards ceremony about where the show will be headed in a new season. Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays Lord Yoshii Toranaga, expressed his hopes for his character, saying, "In Season 1, [Toranaga] didn’t become a Shōgun yet. So, I’d like to see him become the leader of Japan. That is my hope."

After winning an unprecedented number of Emmys and breaking streaming records with 9 million views in its debut week, it's unsurprising that Shōgun will now get a second and third season, despite previous statements saying that it would be a one-and-done limited event series. However, with new seasons in store for viewers following a phenomenal first season, there also comes the immense pressures and expectations to deliver a follow-up that is just as good, if not better. As an exclusive interview with Collider has revealed, things are moving forward, albeit very slowly, for Shōgun Season 2.

Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays the main character Yoshii Toranaga and is also a producer on the series, shared a brief update on the upcoming continuation. Sanada would suggest that the scripts may have some impact on when shooting would begin, but remained optimistic about a Fall 2025 start date, saying:

Hideaki Anno is best known among anime fans as the original creator of one of the most iconic mecha anime of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion. However, the acclaimed director also has a number of live-action films under his belt, one of which is now coming to U.S. theaters for the first time.

Love & Pop was the live-action directorial debut of Hideaki Anno, and U.S.-based film and television distributor Gkids recently announced it will be bringing the movie to select theaters in both New York City and Los Angeles, with more city announcements yet to be made. As of now, the IFC Center in New York City will begin showing the movie on Feb. 21, while the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles will begin showing the movie on Feb. 23.

Digimon Adventure first aired in Japan on March 7th, 1999. Over the next year, viewers followed Tai, Matt, and the rest of the DigiDestined as they explored the Digital World, learned more about themselves, bonded with their partner Digimon, and battled evil villains. The series became more popular than Toei Animation ever imagined, especially following its international release, leading to Digimon still being beloved, and still releasing new content across multiple forms of media, 25 years later.

On October 16th, 2024, Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna premiered in America for the first time in celebration of the series' 25th anniversary. This screening was hosted by Japan Society, in collaboration with Bandai and Toei Animation, in New York City as a part of a larger event, featuring photo-ops, giveaways, and an appearance by one of the most prominent producers in the history of the Digimon anime, Hiromi Seki.

Dragon Ball is a franchise that extends far beyond Super Saiyans, power levels, and villains whose ashes literally need to be obliterated from existence for them to actually die. Any series that has run as long as Dragon Ball has gone through several phases. Although the original manga was simply titled Dragon Ball, Toei Animation chose to split their adaptations up.

In addition, the anime extended into an official sequel in the form of Dragon Ball Gt. Even without Toriyama's involvement, Dragon Ball has been continuously pumping out new content for years. The video games took the place of the anime as the "main" product for a time, but Dragon Ball Super and the newest film Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero have ensured that the series' anime is here to stay. Overall, it's tough to follow the Dragon Ball series in order,...

The line between heroism and villainy sometimes gets blurred in Sailor Moon. Many of Sailor Moon's heroes struggle with their inner demons and pain that could turn them toward evil. Most of the big story arc villains even became evil due to tragic circumstances or manipulation.

Sailor Moon has a huge cast of characters all along the moral spectrum. Some heroes are noble to their core. They know themselves and their purpose so well, it's unlikely they would ever be persuaded to go down a dark path. Other characters could easily fall into villainy if they're nudged a bit too far, however.

As tensions between Japan, Yamato and the United States continued to simmer, Prime Minister Takegami, accompanied by his key officials, engaged in delicate negotiations with Kaieda, the enigmatic leader of Yamato. Amidst the backdrop of global uncertainty and geopolitical discussions, the summit was a critical point for defining the future course of the Japan-Yamato alliance.

Dragon Ball is known for its over-the-top transformations. Whether it’s Goku’s iconic super saiyan form, or Cell's transformation to perfection, Dragon Ball's most powerful warriors always gain power by transforming. While some transformations are built up to and foreshadowed quite well, others can be almost completely random in their appearance.

Each series has its fair share of questionable transformations, but Dragon Ball Super in particular is known for this. While Super does have some of the coolest-looking transformation designs in the series, many of those forms seem to pop in and out of existence, like watching two super saiyans fighting at speeds too great for the naked eye to follow.

“A City of Sadness” is a critically acclaimed historical drama directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien. It was awarded numerous times, notably at the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Horse Film Festival. It is also worth mentioning that “A City of Sadness” was the first Taiwanese movie to win the Golden Lion. Moreover, it was chosen as Taiwan's submission for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 62nd Academy Awards, though it did not get a nomination. In 2023, the restored version of the film was released in cinemas in Taiwan and Hong Kong, among others.

The One Piece remake may fail because fans have a nostalgic attachment to the original 90s animation and character designs. The remake risks trampling on the nostalgia and legacy of the series, potentially devaluing the original. The reboot may not fix pacing issues or capture the emotional investment in minor characters that makes One Piece exceptional.

One Piece's Netflix remake may be doomed to fail, and it all has to do with one major hurdle that could prevent it from ever replacing the original. The new One Piece remake aims to re-animate the East Blue Saga in an effort to draw in new fans who may be put off by the older style of animation but may end up alienating fans instead.

Admittedly, One Piece's animation and quality have come a long way since the series was first picked up by Toei Animation Studio twenty-five years ago, with...
