Posted by bob in Films, News on May 22nd, 2008
A young girl, gone for sixty years, returns to her Japanese home completely, unchanged. The mystery of her disappearance and return propelled the novel (Resurrection), written by Shinji Kajio to the top of Japan’s bestseller lists. A 2002 film version topped the box office charts.
DreamWorks, no stranger to remaking Japanese product into English, has nabbed the rights according to The Hollywood Reporter. William Nicholson (Elizabeth the Golden Age) has already been hired to write a screenplay with production intended for later this year.
This is the studios’ fourth Asia to America production following The Ring, The Ring 2 and A Tale of Two Sisters.
