Japan’s ColorBird Inc and Malaysia’s Barnet Books are joining forces to co-produce a horror film directed by Japanese filmmaker Shinji Aoyama.
Set in Malaysia, the film tells the story of a Japanese couple who set up home on a plantation and find themselves attacked by supernatural phenomena.
The cast will be primarily Japanese with a mixed Japanese-Malaysian crew. Financing will be split evenly between Japanese and Malaysian investors. Empire Film Solution will handle distribution in Malaysia, while Japanese production company Roads To Shangri-La Inc has signed on as an investor in Japan.
ColorBird Inc will handle international sales outside Malaysia. Principal photography is scheduled to start in early 2016.
“We’re very excited to be working on this film project with Barnet Books. Its unique and original premise is not just intriguing but coupled with Aoyama’s direction should be a vision that is both distinctive yet commercially accessible,” said ColorBird...

#45. Shinji Aoyama’s Dog Eat Dog
Gist: Based on Shinya Tanaka’s novel, Dog Eat Dog revolves around a 17-year-old boy named Tooma Shinogaki who lives with his father and his father’s new girlfriend in an isolated riverside town. Having to witness his father’s sadistic sexual behavior toward his girlfriend on a daily basis, Tooma grows increasingly frustrated and disgusted, but he’s also influenced by it and has a difficult time fighting the urge to try it out with a local high school girl.
Prediction: Aoyama, who adapts the screenplay himself, reteams with producer Naoki Kai (who also produced his 2007 film, Sad Vacation) and we’re predicting a Directors’ Fortnight slot for this selection. In 2001, Ayoama competed in the Main Competition with Desert Moon, as well as in 2000 for Eureka, which took home both the Fipresci and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury.

He will reportedly be teaming up with stylejam producer Naoki Kai on the project, who he worked with on 2007’s Sad Vacation.
The original novel revolves around a 17-year-old boy named Tooma Shinogaki who lives with his father and his father’s new girlfriend in an isolated riverside town.

Director Shinji Aoyama (Eureka) is working on a new feature-length film titled Tokyo Kouen. This will be his first feature-length project since he wrapped up his unofficial “Kitakyushu trilogy” with 2007’s “Sad Vacation”.
His latest film is based on a novel by Yukiya Shoji, who’s best known for his “Tokyo Bandwagon” series of short mystery stories. Miura plays a college student and aspiring photographer named Koji. One day he’s hired to follow a man’s girlfriend (Igawa) and take photos of her. Over time, this activity leads to gradual changes in Koji’s ambiguous relationships with women around him.
Eikura plays the ex-girlfriend of Koji’s childhood friend and Konishi plays Koji’s new stepsister.
According to Aoyama, his return to directing has the feeling of something entirely fresh. The style of this new film is said to be nothing like Eureka, which made a splash at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival.

- Shinji Aoyama has made a career of exploring the complex relationships between children and their parents. From his very first film Helpless to arguably his greatest triumph Eureka, he has explored the effects that broken families can have both on the parties involved and society as a whole. Sad Vacation continues Aoyama’s master thesis on the subject – and is possibly the concluding chapter. Forming both a direct and thematic trilogy with the aforementioned pictures, the film stars Tadanobu Asano (reprising his role from Helpless) as Kenji, a journeyman scraping together a meager existence any way he can; including providing transport for human traffickers (where he acquires a “son”) and as a chauffeur (where he acquires a girlfriend). One night while driving a drunken client home he meets his estranged mother, resurrecting feelings of resentment for leaving him behind with his alcoholic and abusive father. Taking up her offer

They’ve also scored some big time guests to present their latest works including Myung-se Lee (M) and Ryo Iwamatsu (Then Summer Came).

ROME -- Sad Vacation, from Japanese director Aoyama Shinji, will open the Orizzonti sidebar at this year's Venice Film Festival, organizers said Tuesday. An Italian film and a documentary from the Philippines were chosen to close the sidebar.
The Orizzonti sidebar identifies films that illustrate new trends in filmmaking. Organizers revealed Monday that the sidebar's jury will be headed by U.S. helmer Gregg Araki (HR 7/24).
In addition to Vacation, organizers selected Italian director Tonino De Bernardi's Medee Miracle as the sidebar's last fiction film. Lav Diaz's "Kagadanan sa banwaan ning mga engkanto" (Death in the Land of Encantos) will be the final documentary.
The full Orizzonti lineup will be announced Thursday along with the festival's competition lineup. The 64th annual Venice Film Festival runs Aug. 29-Sept. 8.
