A closer look at “Eddie Redmayne and Kore-eda Hirokazu Film Still in Scripting Phase, Director Reveals at Bu”, exactly as the source publishes it. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne’s first project with Japanese auteur Kore-eda Hirokazu is still being written, Kore-eda confirmed Wednesday at the Busan International Film Festival. Speaking at a press event for his animated manga adaptation “Look Back,” the Palme d’Or-winning director told reporters, “Right now, I am writing the script,” and declined to share plot specifics for the Searchlight Pictures production. The untitled film marks a rare English-language venture for Kore-eda, whose humanistic dramas like “Shoplifters” and “Broker” have earned global acclaim.
Redmayne, known for “The Theory of Everything” and the “Fantastic Beasts” series, adds star power to a project that could bridge arthouse and mainstream audiences. Searchlight, a Disney-owned specialty label, has backed Kore-eda’s recent work and is positioning the film as a prestige awards contender.
