Beware the YAKUZA PRINCESS ⚔️ In cinemas and on VOD Sept. 3 from Magnet Releasing!

YAKUZA PRINCESS
Opening everywhere
Friday, September 3rd

EVERY SWORD HAS A STORY.

Based on the acclaimed graphic novel “Samurai Shiro” by Danilo Beyruth and set in the expansive Japanese community of Sao Paulo, Brazil — the largest Japanese diaspora in the world — YAKUZA PRINCESS follows orphan Akemi (played by pop star MASUMI), who, upon turning 21, discovers that she is the heiress to half of Japan’s expansive Yakuza crime syndicate. After forging an uneasy alliance with an amnesiac stranger (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, History Channel’s The Vikings) who believes an ancient sword binds their two fates, Akemi unleashes war against the other half of the syndicate who wants her dead.

YAKUZA PRINCESS is a rip-roaring, violent action-thriller from director and co-writer Vicente Amorim (MOTORRAD), who Variety hails as one of film’s brightest rising stars. Starring MASUMI and Rhys Meyers, the film’s cast also includes Tsuyoshi Ihara, Toshiji Takeshima, Eijiro Ozaki, and Charles Paraventi.

The screenplay is written by Amorim, Fernando Toste, Kimi Lee, and Tubaldini Shelling. Shelling produces the film with Andre Skaf and Filmland International while XYZ Films executive produces.

YAKUZA PRINCESS opens in theatres and on demand on Friday, September 3rd.
