Movie News: Yakuza-Flavored Brazil Nuts

And by Brazil nuts, I don't mean the tasty snacks.

I'm taking about this goofy premise for a new movie project: a Brazilian company wants to make an English-language movie set in Tokyo, with a story about the Yakuza, a Brazilian girl, and an American boy. Confused yet? The kitchen sink makes a cameo appearance.

Actually, Brazilians are one of if not the largest group of foreigners living in Japan, so it's not all that weird.

There was a lot of Japanese immigration to Brazil early in the 20th century, and any foreigner with Japanese ancestry can easily get a visa to live in Japan.

Kitchen sinks make up the third largest foreign demographic in Japan, as well, so that's also relatively normal.

Yep, I know, but I think I just wanted to say "Yakuza-flavored Brazil nuts."
