Afro Samurai 2

There’s a little bit of additional news on Afro Samurai 2: It’s going to air as an ‘original movie event’ on SPIKE TV (like the series) in January 2009. Samuel L. Jackson, who voices Afro will be joined by Lucy Liu (of Charlies Angels fame) and Mark Hamill (of the good Star Wars movies).

From MovieWeb:

Lucy Liu will give voice to Sio, a beautiful, seductive and sadistic mastermind plotting to destroy Afro Samurai. Liu is the star of several Hollywood blockbuster action-adventure films including Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill and has joined the cast of the ABC drama Dirty Sexy Money. Liu can currently be heard as Master Viper in the animated film Kung Fu Panda.

Additional casting includes Mark Hamill as Bin, Sio’s manservant and protector…best known as the young hero Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy…
