Hachiko: A dog's story

Postby Jack » Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:26 am

I came across this film in pre-production. Anyone has anymore details? I assume it's about the dog Hachiko as we all know it.

It says it is a remake of Hachiko Monogatari, so now Richard Gere is in this remake of Japanese flick after having been in Shall We Dance that was another remake of a Japanese flick.

I wonder if Wasao gets mounted and stuffed at the end of the movie just like the real Hachiko.

You have four days to get to Seattle to see it.

Popular songstress Thelma Aoyama (21) has been tapped to provide the theme song for the Japanese dub of Richard Gere's upcoming movie, "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale."

Produced by and starring Gere, the film is inspired by the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, said to have waited outside Shibuya Station every day for ten years after its master's death. In "Hachiko," Gere plays the part of a university professor who takes in an abandoned Akita dog.

The movie, which has been in the works since 2007, is directed by Lasse Hallstrom. It will get its North American premiere on June 13 at the Seattle International Film Festival. The Japanese-language version, titled "Hachi: Yakusoku no Inu," opens on August 8.

Aoyama's "Wasurenai yo" will be her first theme song for a Japanese version of a foreign film. The tune will play in theatrical trailers across Japan starting this weekend, and is scheduled for release as a single on August 5, right before the movie's Japanese release.

If they continue to persist, I guess I'll just have to mount and stuff him by myself. Might have to hurry, Iraira has been sniffing around.

I heard 20 years ago that there was a butcher nearby who gave the dog bits of meat and that is the only reason he came around.
