" Clint Eastwood's Oscar-Winning Motion Picture Unforgiven to Be Reborn in Japan with Director Lee Sang-il's Yurusarezarumono " Business Wire Press Release: Warner Bros. Picture http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/clint-eastwoods-oscar-winning-motion-180200955.html TOKYO--(BUSINESSWIRE)-- For the first time in Japanese cinema history, an American-made film is being remade and released in Japan with award-winning director Lee Sang-il's Japanese-language motion picture Yurusarezarumono, inspired by the Oscar-winning classic Unforgiven, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. Released in the U.S. in 1992, Unforgiven was nominated for nine Academy Awards in 1993 and won four, including Best Picture. The announcement was made today by Richard Fox, Executive Vice President, International, Warner Bros. Entertainment, and William J. Ireton, President & Representative Director, Warner Entertainment Japan Inc.
Inspired by the Eastwood classic, writer/director Lee Sang-il (the Japan Academy Prize-winning film Villain, Hula Girls) shifts the setting to Japan in retelling the epic, adapting the Unforgiven screenplay by David Webb Peoples. The film stars an ensemble including some of Japan's most acclaimed actors, led by Ken Watanabe (Letters from Iwo Jima, The Last Samurai) as Jubei Kamata, reinterpreting the role played by Clint Eastwood in the original, with Akira Emoto (Villain, Dr. Akagi) taking on the part played by Morgan Freeman, and Koichi Sato (Crest of Betrayal, What the Snow Brings) reprising Gene Hackman’s part.
