The Blood of Wolves. Here's how it's described in the AFM guide:

THE BLOOD OF WOLVES is planned as a "super genre movie" Samurai Action Drama mixing original sword action with the latest CGI and exquisite special effects makeup.

By integrating swordplay, monster, zombie, and kung fu, we will create an intensive action experience and an extremely entertaining thrill ride that remains exciting from beginning to end. For co-scriptwriting, film director Sono Sion, who has won many Awards around the globe. Production crews are currently planning outrageous "real contact action" and Action Team Zero's, led by Tak Sakaguchi, rocked the world with its terrific action scenes in BE A MAN! SAMURAI SCHOOL (08), YOROI SAMURAI ZOMBIE (09). Edgy hard rock music will elevate THE BLOOD OF WOLVES into a realm of pure excitement.

Samurai Seijyuro walks a lonely path with an eerie wolf he calls Jyubei. Elsewhere, the muscle-bound Genbu has fallen into evil ways and transformed into a terrifying incarnation of absolute malevolence, having betrayed his own family and transformed Seijyuro's father into an animal. Meanwhile, female ninja Kurenai, one of the top members of the Geiga Clan, approaches Seijyuro with a cunning plan. The time has come, and a fateful battle begins. Will Genbu die in order to fulfil his destiny? How will Seijyuro's destiny be determined by the blood of Wolves?
