Film Business Asia reported today that the wonderfully eccentric
Vincent Gallo has joined
Junji Sakamoto‘s
Human Trust, which centers on a conman (
Kôichi Satô) who is hired to track down and steal a stash of WWII treasure. Gallo plays an investment banker who learns of this and hires a hitman, played by
Yu Ji-Tae (
Oldboy), to kill him.
The film is based on a novel by Fukui Harutoshi and with shooting already wrapped, it’s set to hit theaters in Japan October 19th. There’s currently no word on a US release, but this seems like the perfect film to start showing up on the festival circuit.
