The City of Your Final Destination
Its been known for a while that Sanada-san's next project would be another Merchant Ivory film based on the book The City of Your Final Destination.
But really good news on other cast members was posted this week in the messge boards for James Ivory. You can get the link to the actual article there but basically it mentions the casting of Anthony Hopkins, Michelle Williams and Charlotte Gainsbourg along with Sanada-san.
In an interview back in April/May, Hiro mentioned that the cast would be outstanding. No wonder he was excited about the project.
