Dreamworks Picks Yomigaeri Remake Scribe

Dreamworks Pictures has hired Oscar-winner Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost) to write the script for its remake of the 2003 Japanese fantasy drama film Yomigaeri (Resurrection). The heartwarming film focuses on a Japanese village where dead residents suddenly return to life and gently reacquaint themselves with their remaining living family members. The Dreamworks’ remake will tentatively be titled “Rainbow Bridge.”

Yomigaeri is one of three Asian films being remade by Dreamworks; the other two are Old Boy and Ghost in the Shell.
