'30 Days of Night' star Josh Hartnett is to play the lead role in a new martial arts action film called 'Bunraku'.
Variety reports that the film follows a revenge-seeking drifter (Hartnett) in an alternate universe.
The trade daily says the film mixes elements of the spaghetti western, gangster and samurai genres.
'Bunraku' is due to begin shooting in Europe in the spring.
