A scenario of the late Akira Kurosawa is going to be animated in Japan for the 100th birthday of the artist.
It's an adaptation of a novel by Edgar Allan Poe, the Masque of the Red Dead (instead it's black, here. Kurokishi, you know).
But the biggest news in the article is that, for the same birthday, Hollywood will celebrate by... remaking Rashomon.
It's going to be called Rashomon 2010 and talk about the murder of a businessman in a small American city, and other stuff that will, for sure, keep the spirit of the original movie alive.
This is fucking insane.
Each time, it sounds like a random parody that could be in an episode of The Critic, except it's real, and some actual people greenlight the project and give actual bucks to produce it.

The funny thing is, Kurosawa movies really don't need to be remade or updated for modern audiences.
I recently watched Seven Samurai with my brother who's not a big film buff or anything and he loved it. He thought it was very meaningful AND entertaining. He was surprised by how old it was because it didn't seem dated or stilted like many other films from that period.
The only reason to remake a Kurosawa film is to add color, add western actors, decrease the shot lengths and add music that dictates how the audience should be feeling.

Since you bring up one of the finer captains, I thought I'd mention the new film from said franchise. New images have been released.

As you can see from my sig image, I'm enthusiastic.
