Teaser Trailer For 'Love And Soul'

 

The teaser trailer has been released for 'Love And Soul', an Asian remake of the 1990 Hollywood movie 'Ghost'. The film is being helmed by Stalwart NTV television director Taro Otani and will star Nanako Matsushima and Korean actor Song Seung-heon in the Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze roles.

Productions duties for the film will be handled by Takashige Ichise, who worked on both the originals and Hollywood remakes of the 'Ring' and 'The Grudge' series. Ichise has been bridging the Tokyo-Hollywood gap as far back as 1993’s 'American Yakuza', which he wrote and executive produced. He was also involved in the Hollywood version of 'Shutter' - shot in Tokyo but based on a Thai movie.

No confirmed story details yet (although the teaser hints at a gender role reversal) but the original centred around Sam and Molly, a happy couple who are torn apart when Sam is killed in a mugging gone wrong. Rather than cross over to the other side though, Sam finds himself trapped as a ghost and realises that his death was no accident. He knows he must warn Molly about the danger that she is in but as a ghost he can not be seen or heard by the living. Luckily, he finds Oda Mae Brown, a psychic who didn't even realise that her powers were real.

'Love And Soul' will be released across Japan and Korea in November.
