The Japanese IBM site has posted the long theatrical trailer for the new live-action Japanese action movie Shurayuki-Hime in Quicktime and streaming Windows Media Player formats. The brand new action film is a sci-fi re-make of the 1973 female samurai film Shurayukihime written by Lone Wolf & Cub creator Kazuo Koike, released in America by AnimEigo under the translated titled Lady Snowblood.
