Two brief news bites that don’t yield much information, but are worth noting anyway. Jim Mickle, the director of Stakeland and the We Are What We Are remake. According to Variety, he’ll next direct Cold In July this summer. The project is fully-financed and described as a “character-driven” thriller. When we get actual plot details, we’ll let you know.
Takashi Miike will next direct a film based on the ghost tale “Yotsuya Kaiden.”
In the film, an actor named Kosuke plays the lead role of Iemon in a staged play of Yotsuya Kaiden. His lover Miyuki joins him on stage to play Oiwa”, but as they become engrossed in the performances, their personal life begins to disintegrate and their love, hate, and grudge for each other takes over. As the two worlds begin to meld, they are thrown into their own hell with the play beginning to horrifyingly unfold in real life.
The project currently does not have a title.
