Akira Kurosawa’s 1958 film “The Hidden Fortress” (”Kakushi Toride no San Akunin”) is getting a remake, directed by special effects specialist Shinji Higuchi. This version will star Arashi member Jun Matsumoto in his first jidaigeki role, with a supporting cast that includes popular actress Masami Nagasawa.
The original film starred Toshiro Mifune as the defeated general Rokurota trying to secretly escort a princess and her wealth to safety. Along the way, he is joined in the journey by two peasants. In Higuchi’s version, the story’s protagonist is the peasant Takezo (played by Matsumoto), rather than the general.
Masami Nagasawa plays the role of the princess, while Hiroshi Abe plays Rokurota. According to Sports Hochi, comedian Daisuke Miyagawa is also part of the cast, and Kazuki Nakashima is handling the adaptation of the script.
The movie reportedly has a budget of 1.5 billion yen. Filming starts next month and lasts until the end of the year, with theatrical release set for May 10, 2008.
Former Morning Musume member Maki Goto ended her tour on Sunday with a show at Saitama’s Sonic City. During the concert, she revealed that she is graduating from Hello! Project. The news comes barely a week after her younger brother Yuki was arrested for theft.
Yuki turned himself into the police on October 20, admitting that he and accomplices broke into a construction site in July to steal one million yen worth of electric cable.
Right after the incident became public, Goto and her management had a discussion. Because of the trouble caused by the scandal, and disagreements over the direction of Goto’s career, it was decided that she would no longer be a part of Hello! Project. She will continue her solo career, but hopes to become a serious music artist rather than just an idol. She is reportedly remaining with Up-Front Agency.

A good drama with good music is apt to attract viewer attention. The music of the KBS drama ‘Devil,’ which ended airing in Korea in May, appears to have gained a large following in Japan.

The 19 song album includes singing by lead actor Eom Tae-woong and the collaboration of talented musicians such as Bobby Kim and JK Kim Dong-wook.
Director Im Jong-won at Olive Nine, which produced the drama, said, “OST plays an important role in boosting a drama’s emotional aspect. We tried to produce good music for a lasting drama effect. OST orders are continuing to come in even after the drama ended airing, and sales in Japan and other countries are expected to grow high.”

WASHINGTON - The US Supreme Court allowed actress Elizabeth Taylor to keep a Vincent van Gogh painting on Monday, rejecting an appeal by descendants of a Jewish woman who said she was forced to sell it before fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939.
The justices refused to review a US appeals court ruling that dismissed the lawsuit because the descendants waited too long to bring their claims demanding that Taylor return van Gogh’s “View of the Asylum and Chapel at Saint-Remy.”
