The Cup of Tears

Being a fan of all things Samurai or Sci-Fi related, I was really excited to find this online today.

The Cup of Tears 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.

It looks like an awesome mix of live action and anime (similar to Cassern) are being used to create a very stylish but gritty movie.

However, unfortunately this is just a trailer for a film that doesn't exist (yet?) as described by Gary Shore himself, the trailer's director in the Joblo.com forums:


Hi Guys,

I'm very happy to see that The Cup of Tears film trailer is now out there and been seen by people.

Just to clear things up... This is a stand alone trailer, done on a budget of 20k Euro. If you are expecting Hollywood for that money then you will be disappointed. The film is a homage to Manga and took almost two years to make. Each matte painting I did myself. Compositing and 3d was completed by Windmilllane Post Production, Dublin.

If you would like to see a film like this get made then please send it on to others. The more people that see the trailer the better chance I have of making the film a reality.

Regards

Gary Shore

What a shame that this is all of the 'movie' that currently exists. Here's hoping that Gary can realise his dream and get the full thing made.

So here is the trailer in all it's glory...
