An English-language film adaptation of Japanese video game “Root Letter,” starring Danny Ramirez, is in production in the U.S. through Akatsuki Entertainment USA. Besides Ramirez, the film stars Keana Marie and Lydia Hearst.
With a screenplay by David Ebeltoft (2016 Tribeca Film Festival’s “Here Alone”), the film is intended as a gritty re-imagining of the game’s core story of a protagonist in search of a former pen pal who disappears under curious circumstances.
The underlying Kadokawa-published game has two main gameplay sequences. First, the player interrogates people who knew the missing girl. Then the player relives the missing years and makes use of clues gathered earlier.
The game was first published in 2016 and has been made available on platforms including PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Microsoft Windows, Android and iOS. It sold more than 400,000 copies in Japan and overseas, and is also available on Steam and Nintendo Switch.

The teaser Trailer for ‘Rapid Eye Movement‘ has been released, and it sure is a doozie. The plot of the movie centers around a man who attempts to break the 11-day world record for staying awake in the heart of Times Square. The film began shooting in New York all the way back in November of 2015, and the first teaser trailer is finally here. The film feels very reminiscent of films like ‘Buried‘ and ‘Phone Booth‘, seemingly taking place in one singular location. The film was shot almost exclusively in Times Square, and the filmmakers were given unprecedented access to the famous landmark. They were even allowed to construct a custom-built sound booth for shooting of the film.
‘Rapid Eye Movement‘ was directed by Francois Arnaud, and the movie was produced by Tentmaker Pictures and We Are Films through Fredrick Weiss, Peter Bishai, Gary Khon and Aaron Craig. The film stars Arnaud,...

A Million Colours finds writer-director Peter Bishai peering into South Africa’s Apartheid yesteryear for his sophomore feature. One might say not just peering, but opening up a past wound to explore the microcosm of the personal within one of history’s great struggles for freedom.
Bishai transforms the past into a vessel for storytelling, opening with a prologue that relays to us that the story we are about to see unfold is the tale of Muntu Ndebele’s (Wandile Molebatsi’s) journey from actor to thief. The theme of storytelling is woven into the fabric of the film as Bishai tailors his drama to the belief that stories are intrinsically weaved into the fabric of the everyday. With this thought to mind perhaps its title refers not to a million shades but rather to the multitude of stories of which a country is threaded together with; a series of...

Title: “A Million Colours” Director: Peter Bishai Starring: Wandile Molebatsi, Jason Hartman, Masello Motana, Stelio Savante, Mpho Osei Tutu, Running Time: 120 Minutes, No Rating “A Million Colours” positions itself as a story of friendship and love set in the middle of South Africa’s Apartheid struggles, but it’s a lot more than that. The story is, to me, one that focuses much more on the life of real life child star from 1975′s “e’Lollipop” Muntu Ndebele (Molebatsi) than it is about his deep friendship with his co-star Norman Knox (Hartman) and even Muntu’s love for the quiet Sabela (Motana). The film delves deep into Muntu’s life, including his descent from [ Read More ]
