YAKUZA'S DAUGHTER

Word broke several months ago that Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) and Guka Omarova (Native Dancer) had joined forces to co-direct, of all things, an action comedy in the Ukraine. A gangster comedy, in fact, and if you want to get really specific a yakuza comedy, and they recruited Tak Sakaguchi - the star of Versus and director of Be A Man Samurai School and Mutant Girls Squad - to help them do it. Sakaguchi would fill a minor on-screen role while also serving as the film's action coordinator.
