With the current version's success, as everyone expected, two sequences "DORORO 2" and "3" will be produced, both at the same time. Both Satoshi Tsumabuki and Kou Shibasaki will continue to play the leading roles.
Producer Takashi Hirano states, "we targeted at making a Japanese version of 'Load of The Rings', so we were thinking of making it a trilogy." While the current version's budget was 2 billion yen, including filming in New Zealand, this time they prepared 6 billion yen in war chest for both 2 and 3, and are also thinking of filming overseas.
Filming will start sometime next year and release will be sometime after 2009, pending the stars' schedule. The U.S. distributor Universal Pictures (and UP Japan is one of the producing consortium) is considering to release in the US at the same time as Japan, the report says.

I loved the movie!!!!! I played the game first and was curious to know more so I looked it up. For anyone who would like to know there is a manga, anime, and PS2 Video game out there. The anime and manga go by the same title Dororo but the game is called "Blood Will Tell" you play Hyakkimaru and sometimes Dororo on the quest to recover his bady parts back. The biggest difference between the Movie and the others is that Dororo is a kid instead of a young adult.

I just found the movie the weekend before last and have already seen it at least 20 times. I almost feel given a few more showings I could actually become fluent in Japanese by next weekend at this rate. More Dororo please.
