Universal Pictures has bought all North American rights to Japanese period actioner "Dororo," the pic's production company, the TBS web, announced Friday.
"Dororo" stars Kou Shibasaki ("The Sinking of Japan") as femme warrior Dororo, who was raised as a man. She encounters a young samurai (Satoshi Tsumabuki), whose father gave 48 of his body parts to demons, and joins him on his quest to recover the parts and regain his natural form.
