Japanese Film Industry Stories for April 8 and 9
Just a few stories up on Screen regarding the Japanese film business (don't forget, Asian news is free):
Both Fuji TV's upcoming thriller-romance Amalfi and the Nodame Cantabile feature films (two parts), which go into production this June, have been pre-sold to several territories in Asia. The hit Nodame Cantabile TV series has a considerable fanbase in the continent. Sales story here. Background on Nodame films here and Amalfi there.
As you may know, Japan will get Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (titled Transformer: Revenge here) first in the world on June 20th. If you live in Ôsaka, Kawasaki or Shôbu you'll be able to see it in Imax' recently developed digital projection format. Story here.
Broadband video portals Yahoo! Dôga and Usen-operated GyaO will merge into one mega portal. Story here.
Finally, Screen's new editor Conor Dignam came to Hong Kong and made a short video report at the market, for those of you who are curious about what it looks like and what people had to say.
