Here's the trailer for Gary Shore's The Cup of Tears, a gorgeous CGI hybrid samurai sci-fi movie being made in Ireland. Word is: "Follows a scorned geisha who creates a magical cup made of tears that causes any man who drinks from it to fall into a permanent sleep. One night the cup is stolen, setting off a chain of events that threatens civil war amongst the clans. Taro, a gifted samurai, sets out to find the cup and one who can break the spell." As far as we know, this doesn't have a distributor yet, so stay tuned for updates. I'll be following this closely since it looks great!

The story looked good, up until they started adding sci-fi elements to it. Also, if the movie uses as many flash-cuts (those quick fade outs and fade ins) as often as the trailer does, I'd probably have a seizure. I mean, it literally hurt my eyes to watch that trailer and I could barely see what was happening.

At least the CGI looks great. :)
