As we approach 2020 more information is being released.
This time, director Keishi Otomo spoke a little about the current process of working on the film in an authoritative column in a newspaper (translated by Shanghiman):
“We are editing “Rurouni Kenshin The Final Chapter” which will be released next summer.Little has been said about the cast, rumors based on film sets appearances and cast parties indicate that most actors will reprise their roles. But so far, the only confirmation is of Takeru Satoh reprising his role as Kenshin Himura. Tomoe and Enishi Yukishiro are a mystery until then.
Although it is a new work for the first time in five years, Even if we say “final chapter”, it is actually a duology. One is set at Kyoto at the Bakumatsu in Chaos, and the other is set at Tokyo in the New Era.
RK2&3 was a continuous story of the same era, but RK4&5 are a completely different movie structured like a mirrors.
Proceed with one edit to interact, return to the other, and repeat. We are working slowly and carefully.
Which cut and which take should be selected from the footage, what tempo and way of telling a story should be connected?
Depending on the outcome, the tragedy can become a comedy, a masterpiece become a stuff.
Steven Spielberg said that “movies are born in the editing room”, that's right.
Editing may be the most exciting of all production processes.
"Rurouni Kenshin" Live-Action Series was born with the ambitious to create Blockbuster Movie like Marvel's "Spider-Man" in Japanese movies.
Although it is still in the process of production, I have very good feeling.”
