Luke Thompson for Deadline.com does a round-up of Comic con and the “Bunraku” trailer was shown before “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”. Here is what he wrote about the trailer:

Prior to the movie, they showed a trailer for something called BUNRAKU. Now, I’m fairly sure many of you don’t know what that means, which might be a strike against the movie; it’s a Japanese style of puppet show. The movie, however, is one of those all-greenscreen shot flicks like SIN CITY, set in a world full of primary colors and cartoony backgrounds, and a really low-rent version of the cuty-folding-up effect done better in INCEPTION. But look: Woody Harrelson, Demi Moore, Josh Hartnett, Ron Perlman in gray dreadlocks…oh, and the best acting credit ever: “and introducing Gackt.”

Yes, there’s a dude just named Gackt in this movie. And he looks like a real ass-kicker.

LOL about Gackt being an ass-kicker. Don’t know who Gackt is? Read his wiki page here. And some pictures to help you place who he is.

But srsly, where is this trailer?? Hopefully, it’ll come out soon. Crosses fingers

You can the original film version with Josh HERE ON YOUTUBE or you can DOWNLOAD it onto your computer here. If you want to see more screencaptures of Josh in Sin City, click on the picture below! Rofl, Josh looks so young.

I also really like watching the original green-screen version of this clip. So, if you are interested in that, click on the image below to view on Youtube, alternatively, if you want to download it to your computer, click here.

This one is Josh’s interview back in 2008 on GMTV when he was playing Charlie Babbit in “Rainman” on West End, London. He talks about the play, the large amount of dialogue to remember and about crazy English tabloids. Click below to watch on Youtube or you can download it onto your computer here.

And more hotness below… this interview is way back in 2004 when he was promoting “Wicker Park” on the Jonathan Ross show. I couldn’t help smiling throughout the entire interview. Josh talks about a bunch of stuff… Harrison Ford, his height, his fears, his disappointment in Pearl Harbour and his ‘then’ new movie Wicker Park. Click below to watch the interview on Youtube or you can download it here.

LOL! I just realized both of these interviews where from the UK. It was not intentional, but I do luv the Brits. I wish Josh was on West End when I visited London a few months ago. Sigh.

Anyways, my conclusion is that Josh must do more interviews on talk shows. Bunraku better come out soon and the publicity and marketing team better work hard to promote it!

Around 300 people, including actor Josh Hartnett, squeezed into Milk Studios’ first floor gallery for Ronson’s intimate two-hour set, which included performances from collaborators MNDR (aka Amanda Warner) for new single ‘Bang Bang Bang’ and Phantom Planet’s Alex Greenwald, who sang the Ronson-tweaked version of Radiohead’s ‘Just’ while executing an impressive crowd-surf.

In other news related to Josh:

Bill Murray was featured in Blackbook magazine recently and the article written about him also mentions Josh:

“Murray was dining at a restaurant in Brooklyn, where he can often be found blending in with the locals. Josh Hartnett, an actor he couldn’t quite place, approached him. ‘This guy shakes my hand and says, ‘You worked on Lost in Translation with my [then] girlfriend. Was she as much trouble for you as she was for me?’ But Scarlett [Johansson] was 17 when I worked with her, so no, she wasn’t,’ he says. ‘I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I don’t know who the fuck anyone is. I go through US Weekly, and it’s filled with reality stars I’ve never heard of. I don’t recognize anyone. People? Forget it.”

And UK TV presenter, Miquita Oliver, mentions Josh in her interview:

Miquita also finds it a challenge to interview anyone she has the hots for. ‘I just turn to mush and it’s so annoying because Steve Jones (her co-star) never gets nervous. I dropped my prompt cards in front of Josh Hartnett once and I’ve never recovered.’
