So you wanna be in a Japanese movie? Gaijin residents of Tokyo, your moment in the limelight may be coming sooner than you ever expected, courtesy of Yoshiki "Slasher" Takahashi, writer-director extraordinaire. You may remember his Shogun Torture faux-trailer (deleted from YouTube for brutality and boobies, but still available here for those with a taste for both.)
Slasher's at it again. He's filming a segment that will be apparently be included in the extras for the Tokyo Gore Police DVD, and he needs fresh meat. The shoot is on January 12th, around noon, in the Inaricho area. But I'll pass the mic to the man himself for details. Contact Slasher directly if you're interested!
I'm
going shoot two shorts, both of which are faux commercials.
The first piece is about the "New National Seclusion of Japan." It is an faux announcement from the
Government, which says Japan has officially shut down from other countries once
again. In this scenario all gaijins must be registered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Department. Gaijin must report to the nearest office, and has to be
fingerprinted... Just like reality! But this time, your fingers will be chopped
off and literally "printed" (squashed) against the paper. Lots of
screams and blood! Smiling female police officer gently guides you to the
finger-guillotine machine!
For the second piece, I will shoot some footage of gaijin maids brutally treated in a japanese
family house. It would be nice if
there's some gaijin MALE who has guts to do it in a maid costume. I'm not
thinking about girl maids, but male maids!
In order to make these faux commercials, I need gaijin extras. The more the merrier. This is a no budget project, so I can't pay anyone, but all participants will get at least one copy of the finished DVD, and possibly a movie poster too.
The shooting will take place in downtown, around Inaricho (close to Ueno and Asakusa) I'll announce the specific time and meeting place later, but for the moment it is scheduled to start sometime around noon. (I have another one to shoot in the morning.)
Don't
worry about clothing, I'll prepare the maid ones if needed, so dress like you
do everyday. It would be ideal if you can manage to bring some clothes you
don't care about anymore, so that we can spray "blood" all over you.
But it's not an obligation.
PLEASE TELL ANY PEOPLE INTERESTED TO CONTACT ME DIRECTLY!
I would make the best maid EVAR.

I would be even better. It would be like 'revenge on Raymond Burr' for them! I'd even grow a beard for the part!
*sigh*
But you know who would totally rock it? Daryl Surat of AWO. He does this "please don't hurt me!" look so well, Slasher would likely end up making a whole movie starring him!

As anyone who's seen a few Toho flicks knows, the standards for gaijin actors in Japanese films are very high.

"Don't worry about clothing..."
Boy, if I had 100 yen for every time a director said that to me.

I'd love to check it out....but I don't know about all this 'spraying fake blood on my clothes' thing....

Kyle:
What, you're holding out for having real blood sprayed on you? Don't tempt Slasher, I think he'd do it....

He's apparently preparing clothing for those who don't want to sacrifice theirs to the cause, so don't let that stop you.
