Hiro Murai to Make Feature Debut With A24’s Japanese Action Epic ‘Bushido’
Hiro Murai is making the leap to the big screen.
A24 is set to finance and produce “Bushido,” described as an “original samurai film,” which marks the feature debut for the director.
Murai has famously helmed episodes of “Atlanta,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “Station Eleven” and “Barry.” He is also an executive producer on “The Bear.”
In addition, Murai will produce “Bushido,” with Henry Dunham serving as a writer and producer.
Also producing are Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen, under their Square Peg banner, alongside Julia Oh, Christine D’Souza Gelb and David Hinojosa for 2Am.
While details on the movie’s storyline are being kept out of sight, it is being described as a high-stakes action film set against the backdrop of feudal Japan.
In 2019, “Guava Island,” a 56-minute film that Murai directed for constant collaborator Donald Glover, arrived on Prime Video. Murai has also directed episodes of “Legion” and “Snowfall.
