It was until a wiki-search for a Japanese movie "Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu"
had turned up some gossip as well.
Hollywood had apparently took the rights to this movie and will be producing it, starring Jenifer Garner.
Nothing against the actress. The thought have came to me that Hollywood, once a prime veteran in the movie industry, have come to such means to redeem itself.
Perhaps cynics might digress, however from the following list of movies quoted, you would be surprised -
Original title (Language)/ Hollywood title
----------------------------- -------------------
1.The Ring (Japanese) / The Ring
2. The Grudge (Korean) / The Grudge
3. Dark Water (Japanese) / Dark Water
4. Il Mare (Korean) / The Lake House
5. Shall we dance (Japanese)/ Shall we dance
6. King Kong (US) /King Kong
7. Planet of the Apes (US) /Planet of the Apes
8. War of the Worlds (US) /War of the Worlds
9. Poseidon (US) /Poseidon
10.Be with You (Japanese) /(Not available at press time)
Once is lucky, twice is an conicidence, three times and more is pushing their luck.
Perhaps the pressure is on for the scriptwriters, after years of leading ahead in the industry, it is easy to capitalise on winning box office hits from overseas and past years record holders.
So what shall it be then? Hollywood Recycling or Hollywood Karang Kuni Pte Ltd?
