In the year that Takashi Miike made his critically acclaimed remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 13 Assassins, he also directed a 3D remake of Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 film Hara-Kiri. The latter is now scheduled to hit the North American iTunes store on July 17th, then open in theaters on the 20th. Get a look at the local trailer below.
Criterion has released the original Hara-Kiri in North America, while AnimEigo has released Assassins.
