Ghost — the hit film which starred Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore as young lovers separated by a deadly robbery gone wrong — set for a Japanese remake more than 20 years after it first impressed American moviegoers.
The film, which won two Academy Awards including a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Whoopi Goldberg, is heading back to the big screen with an all-Japanese cast. According to TokyoGraph News, Paramount Pictures and Japanese film studio Shochiku will join forces to produce and distribute the Ghost remake — under the direction of lensman Taro Otani — for theatrical release overseas.
The project will begin filming in June and is slated for release next fall.
