The video shows a fight between the sword-wielding, vampire-hunting girl Saya (My Sassy Girl and Daisy's Gianna) and her nemesis Onigen (The Last Samurai's Koyuki).The channel is also streaming five other videos. The French film website AlloCine posted six English making-of videos and a trailer in both English and French.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group acquired all North American rights to the new film, and Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film in American theaters this summer. The film will open in Japan on May 29 (under the title Last Blood), in the United Kingdom on June 12, and then in France on June 17. It will also open in Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and other countries in June.

I read about this in the comments on the anime version showing on watch Blood: The Last Vampire (2000) anime horror movie. and I have been so psyched since! I cant wait for this movie to come out! It is one of the best animes to convert to live action. Stuff like Dragon Ball and Cowboy Bebop is not as exciting. Looks soo actiony!!! I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!!
