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.
The Cup of Tears is being directed by Irish filmmaker Gary Shore, of only a film called The Draft previously, but also of quite a few commercials and other work (visit his website: garyshore.com). This is being finished in Ireland and is not an Asian feature, despite being very heavily influenced by that style. 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!

Well it looks really amazingly cool in some places and hopelessly cheesy in others. I was also confused by the time period. At first I thought it would be feudal Japan-esque, but then I saw rockets... and flying copter cars with machine guns.
Your take?
