Afro Samurai
Watch

Based on a doujinshi written by Takashi Okazaki in the late 90's, Afro Samurai is a creative collaboration between Samuel L. Jackson, Takashi Okazaki and the Japanese animation company Gonzo, a division of GDH, with the intentions of creating an anime series for US and Japanese markets. Scheduled to premiere on Spike TV (a US cable station). With the Academy Award-nominated actor Samuel L. Jackson already signed on to co-produce and to do the lead character's voice, this is a first in a potentially interesting trend.


Afro Samurai: Resurrection
ANN is reporting that a sequel to AFRO SAMURAI is in the works and scheduled for 2009. Animation by GONZO, with Samuel L. Jackson as the executive producer and the voice of the title character. Both Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars) have been recruited to provide voices.

At a time when their unconditional surrender is imminent, the sudden arrival of a strange and powerful starship made of glass turns certain defeat into victory, but are these new comers a new enemy or potential allies?
