CJ remake Hollywood hit GHOST

Korean film major CJ Entertainment has boarded the Japanese remake of Jerry Zucker's 1990 Hollywood hit Ghost, a supernatural romance which starred Demi Moore. The remake, "Ghost : In Your Arms Again" (previously titled "Love and Soul"), is directed by Japan's Tarô Ohtani and stars Japanese actress MATSUSHIMA Nanako (The Ring) in what was Moore's role, opposite Korean wave star Song Seung-heon.

The film will now be a three-country co-production with CJ joining Hollywood studio Paramount and Japan's Shochiku and Nippon TV. CJ will also handle international sales for the remake. The film's lead producer is TAKA Ichise, Hollywood-based producer of horror franchises, The Ring, Ju-on and The Grudge.

Shooting already wrapped end of last month, and a release date in Japan is slated for November 13. A Korean release is set to follow, most likely in late November.
