November 29, 2003 — Just a reminder that The Last Samurai can been seen in a select 500 theaters today.

"The response to this film in advance screenings -- both in the U.S. and in Japan -- has been so extraordinary that we believe word of mouth about it is our most powerful tool for bringing The Last Samurai to the attention of audiences," Warner's distribution chief Dan Fellman said in a statement. "As of this week, we now have enough prints to be able to screen the picture across the country, and we are taking this opportunity to give holiday audiences a special early look at a picture we're very proud of."
