Takeshi Kitano teased the idea on a special TV program entitled Takeshi’s Unknown Legends ~The Geniuses of Japan 2017~ that aired on TV Tokyo at 9:00 PM JST on January 31, 2017.
During a segment where Kitano interviewed professional shogi player Yoshiharu Habu, Habu asked Kitano about the theme of his next movie.
Takeshi Kitano, aka “Beat” Takeshi, has already explored the realms of film and video games, but will the multi-talented artist / actor / director / poet / comedian / etc. soon be tackling the medium of animation?
