David Bond and Manda Manuel, producers of the upcoming The Profane Exhibit, have some new info to share on the anthology film. The word we’ve received is that shooting of Yoshihiro Nishimura's segment is complete!
Nishimura has a great track record with films like Helldriver and Tokyo Gore Police, and the fact that he's reunited with Eihi Shiina (Audition, Helldriver, Tokyo Gore Police) for "Jigoku No Chorishi" ("The Hell Chef") makes this one segment of The Profane Exhibit we'll definitely be looking forward to.

Serial killing and cannibalism meet gourmet cooking in Yoshihiro Nishimura's "Jigoku No Chorishi" ("The Chef of Hell"/"The Hell Chef"), a fetishistic tale of murder, suicide and madness set in contemporary Tokyo.

They work fast in Japan. We've given a lot of time and attention to Japanese multi-director cult flick Mutant Girls Squad in these pages and while that film has just released in Japan and will be receiving its International Premiere later this month at the New York Asian Film Festival, the three directors behind Mgs are already hard at work on other projects.
Tak Sakaguchi is currently shooting Yakuza Weapon with co-director Yudai Yamaguchi. Yoshihiro Nishimura is wrapping up photography on his zombie driving movie Helldriver. And farthest along is Noboru Iguchi, the director of Machine Girl and Robogeisha, who wrapped principal photography on Zaborgar last month and is currently editing the film with the goal of a mid-fall completion.
Iguchi's highest-budgeted film to date, Zaborgar is a live action adaptation of classic television series Denjin Zaborgar which should allow Iguchi to explore some new territory.
