DreamWorks to redo hit Japanese film


May 20, 2008 DreamWorks has picked up the remake rights to Japanese blockbuster "Yomigaeri" ("Resurrection") from Tokyo Broadcasting System and tapped William Nicholson to pen the English-language version. Based on the novel by award-winning author Shinji Kajio, "Yomigaeri" centers on a government official sent to a small rural town to investigate the reappearance of a young child who, after missing for 60 years, returns to his mother not having aged at all. A commercial success when it was released in Japan in 2003, "Yomigaeri" received four nominations for Japan's top film awards, including best screenplay, director, actress and score.
