Carl Erik Rinsch was accused of using Netflix funds intended to complete a science fiction series to buy cars, cryptocurrency and other luxuries for himself. The 48-year-old, best known for the 2013 film 47 Ronin, was convicted of federal fraud and money laundering for misusing funds. Rinsch faced up to 90 years in prison, but was expected…

This is a rare Katei Toki paper film print that included a soundtrack to accompany the film. We still have work to do on this film but excited to see the results!"

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched 47 Ronin, starring Keanu Reeves and Hiroyuki Sanada, tonight. I enjoy this style of action movie so I liked it. Worth checking out if you enjoy fantasy action movies. I love them so I figured I'd at least be entertained. Maybe The Swordsman next if I'm up for a subbed movie.
positive · AI labelView post →My take is that ripping off a streaming giant for millions is cool and shouldn’t be illegal, but making a bad 47 Ronin movie should land you in the prison from Face/Off.
negative · AI labelView post →I am a big fan of the documentary Side by Side, where Keanu talks to different directors and cinematographers (including Lynch and Mann and others) about digital vs film, and this now-convicted guy is randomly there in part because Keanu was shooting 47 Ronin at the time. Anyway see Side by Side
neutral · AI labelView post →If you watch 47 Ronin (2013), the rabbithole you go down learning about director Carl Rinsch's descent into drug-fueled psychosis during filming, being removed from the project during editing and reshooting, and eventually his wife divorcing him over it all, is more dramatic than the film itself. /1
neutral · AI labelView post →There is a movie on Netflix called Blades of the 47 Ronin, which bills itself as a sequel to 47 Ronin... It has Marc Dacascos in it... I am sorely tempted, even though I know it will be terrible.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm half-watching that shit 47 Ronin with Keanu. Man, that could've been a cool film. I legit think there's room for a Hollywood take on the story -- there's been countless adaptations already, there is room for a different take with a good cast like Reeves, Asano, Kikuchi, and Sanada. Oh well tho!

neutral · AI labelView post →This has to be the first time I ever heard mention of the 47 Ronin. Wolverine #2 (1982) art by Frank Miller Also probably the reason I watched the Keanu Reeves movie of the same name. Surely there’s a better adaptation out there I could have watched?
neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna start the long film by Kenji Mizoguchi, "the 47 Ronin". 📽️ I am curious how it will turn out as it was made during a period of pro-war propaganda films in Japan but it's by Mizoguchi who in what I've seen has been critiquing Japan. NW:

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know about that- Some of the longest movies ever made were created at the dawn of film. There's an entire film serial that's about 12hrs long, to start, and there's a cut of The 47 Ronin that's over *40.*

neutral · AI labelView post →This is way crazier than a Hollywood take on Chūshingura (47 Ronin), which was entertaining but not spectacular (Keanu Reeves and Hiroyuki Sanada do the heavy lifting in the film). It was a box office bomb, but Netflix made a sequel to it so they could recoup what Rinsch stole from them. WILD. /end

Sadly I was on the wrong side of the road, for filming 2 times, when it was doing its magic (every full hour). https://clip.place/w/4B2uh4nhKzwNUKDp3DUGrJ Short: It opens its top and front and present and also tells the story of the 47 ronin!

neutral · AI labelView post →Here's a thread of Movies I Adore That Most Folks Seem To Despise: We'll start with 47 Ronin. It gets panned for being "unrealistic", because it's ostensibly based on a true story. It's a fantasy movie. And a beautiful one! It is to the 47 Ronin story what 300 was to the Battle of Thermopylae.
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying The Matrix, fav Keanu Reeves film? 47 Ronin 😍 (2013)
positive · AI labelView post →Holy crap! This is such a bonkers case. I was watching 47 Ronin last year and looked him up to see what else he had done and the beginnings of this whole boondoggle were started to be reported on. Jesus. He should go to jail for speculating on Dogecoin alone. Haha. Woof indeed #netflix

neutral · AI labelView post →I've seen it, I'm just making a point that Keanu is actually half Japanese so he should be able to play a character of somewhat Asian descent without complaint, especially when the character he played in 47 Ronin was only half Japanese and all the characters shit on his character because of that. It wasn't a ground breaking movie and there are plenty of reasons to shit on it, but the race card isn't one of them.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm not saying you can blame the director of 47 Ronin for that Netflix show you liked not getting renewed, but the NY Times have an illuminating piece on how hiring director Carl Rinsch to make a high concept sci-fi show went very, very badly wrong. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/22/b...

positive · AI labelView post →The Keanu Reeves movie 47 Ronin is like Big Trouble in Little China. The white guy is the loyal follower and soldier to the far East heroic warriors. This is a good thing. Both great movies and, this is important, both mostly fictional.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you took out the names this sounds like the backstory for a Braveheart or 47 Ronin-style revenge movie. Deposed for refusing to turn your sword over to the king who would surrender it to a foreign ruler. A good director could go ham with that.

neutral · AI labelView post →I've been sucked down another rabbit hole researching Carl Rinsch, a director of commercials. He was inexplicably hired to direct 47 Ronin, a $175M budget film which flopped hard. He has never directed another film since. But maybe he stole money from Netflix? www.businessinsider.com/47-ronin-dir...

It actually reminds me of someone who gave the US "47 Ronin" film a horrible review because the evil Shogun had no right to go against god,

The two main differences are: 1. 1941 Japan was an independent willing Nazi ally, but 1943 Denmark was occupied 2. 47 Ronin was propaganda, but this is a thinly-veiled anti-Nazi film
