japan samurai lasts
This is almost the most famous story The last samurai - Samurai story - in Japan.
japan samurai lasts
I've done Last Samurai in Japan, in LA, in New Zealand. Even in Japan it is very hard to shoot, because there's been so many changes. Only around a temple can we shoot.
hard
It's hard for me to perform in English.
almost tv
Sometimes I'm doing a big movie, or sometimes I'm doing a TV show, but as an actor, it's almost the same thing for me. If I'm doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it's a different approach, but it's all acting for me.
watched
I was very comfortable on the set of 'Lost'. I was so nervous when I went on to the set because I had just watched all the 'Lost' episodes. I was, like, a fan. A big fan.
proud glad industry
I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I'm very proud of this.
drama epic balance
Carl Rinsch has a good balance between the visual and the drama and action, so I thought if he's going to direct, we can make a new, epic film. My fear was gone when I met him.
nice style mixtures
Especially for this film [ 47 ronin] there's a nice mixture between western and eastern. So Ronin wearing the boots, like Western style. It's a nice mixture.
skills action just-one
Action is just one of my skills.
fans nervous bigs
I was very comfortable on the set of Lost. I was so nervous when I went on to the set because I had just watched all the Lost episodes. I was, like, a fan. A big fan.
black-and-white years culture
It was a black and white film [at first]. And then it changed to colour film, and I was surprised and culture shocked when I was six or seven years old. And then HD, then 3D now. So what's going? What's coming next? It's so exciting.
japan done samurai
I've done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.
mixing culture kind
This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.
country speak-english japan
A lot of country making films in English, but in Japan we are very shy to speak English.
