Let’s watch those three preview clips of Emperor, the upcoming period drama movie set in post-war Japan that’s starring Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, and Eriko Hatsune:

Emperor – My order is not to use weapons.

Emperor – The future of Japan

Emperor – You know this countryPlot:
“As the Japanese surrender at the end of WWII, Gen. Fellers is tasked with deciding if Emperor Hirohito will be hanged as a war criminal. Influencing his ruling is his quest to find Aya, an exchange student he met years earlier in the U.S.”

They should have gotten rid of that weak and useless emperor and transform Japan into a republic. Anyway, great movie ahead!

Release date: March 8, 2013.

We’ve got our hands on four posters of Emperor, the upcoming the upcoming drama movie directed by Peter Webber:

Plot:
“As the Japanese surrender at the end of WWII, Gen. Fellers (Matthew Fox) is tasked with deciding if Emperor Hirohito (Takataro Kataoka) will be hanged as a war criminal. Influencing his ruling is his quest to find Aya (Eriko Hatsune), an exchange student he met years earlier in the U.S.”

The film is starring Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, and Eriko Hatsune. In theaters: March 8, 2013.

Will Tommy Lee Jones (who’s playing the role of General Douglas MacArthur) blow smoke rings?

Here’s the official movie trailer of Emperor, the upcoming period drama movie directed by Peter Webber and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew Fox, Eriko Hatsune, Takatarô Kataoka, Kaori Momoi, Isao Natsuyagi, Colin Moy and Toshiyuki Nishida:

EMPEROR

Japan 1945, inspired by a true story.

The war was over, but the search for truth was just beginning.

Plot synopsis:
“As General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture, General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should Hirohito, the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?”

Revenge is not the same as justice, but History is still written by the victors.

And a few pictures from the film:

I guess we may expect some romance between Matthew Fox and Eriko Hatsune!

The release date of Emperor is set for March 8, 2013.
