Takeru Satoh reprises role as the reformed manslayer Kenshin Himura
The staff for the official website of live-action Rurouni Kenshin film star Takeru Satoh posted the first on-set photograph of the 2014 sequel films on Monday. The photo of Satoh as Kenshin Himura in a traditional Japanese building marks the beginning of shooting.
The films are slated for next summer and will cover the Kyoto arc of Nobuhiro Watsuki’s original manga — specifically, the story will be split between the Kyoto Taika-hen (Great Kyoto Fire) and Densetsu no Saigo-hen (The End of a Legend) films. Death Note’s Tatsuya Fujiwara is joining the cast as the former government assassin Shishio Makoto.
Keishi Ōtomo (Ryōmaden) directed the first live-action Rurouni Kenshin film, which opened in Japan last August. The film starred Satoh and Emi Takei (Kyō, Koi o Hajimemasu, For Love’s Sake/Ai to Makoto). It had its North American premiere in Los Angeles in October, and it will play in San Francisco on July 28 and August 1. The first film will have its Japanese television premiere in NTV’s Friday night movie timeslot.
Watsuki’s manga ran from 1994 to 1999 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, and the creator also drew the Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration retelling in Jump Square from May 2012 to this month.
An anime series aired in Japan from 1996 to 1998 and spawned several anime film and video projects. Viz Media publishes both manga in North America, while Media Blasters released the television anime. ADV Films released two later original video anime projects and a film on DVD, and Aniplex is released these three titles on Blu-ray Disc.

With all the US/UK screenings and various physical licenses across the world, it really makes me wonder if/when these will be licensed in R1 and who will get them.

2012 manga adaptation opens in select theaters October 4th
The 2012 live-action Rurouni Kenshin, directed by Keishi Ōtomo and starring Takeru Satoh as Kenshin, Munetaka Aoki as Sanosuke Sagara and Emi Takei as Kaoru, opens in select UK theaters on October 4th, and to promote it, distributor Warner Brothers UK has posted a trailer and pair of subtitled clips.
[details=Trailer & Clips]
[quote]Ex-assassin Kenshin Himura (Takeru Satô) has made a vow never to kill again. Now a wandering samurai, Kenshin protects those in hope of reparation. Finding a home at a failing dojo run by Miss Kaoru (Emi Takei), he becomes entangled in a string of murders related to a drug ring run by the ruthless Kanryuu (Teruyuki Kagawa).
Rurouni Kenshin follows the story of a man avoiding violence – but will his vow be put to the test when those he loves are threatened by his troubled past?[/quote]
