Dear Takuo,<br>many thanks for the help. Are you someone who is particularly interested in horror films and their remakes? I will be in Tokyo for the SCMS conference May 21-24th and then staying on for a few weeks (I have a strange invite to talk about Ama in Korea in June and it is not worth flying back to the UK) -- I thought I would begin seeing how to organise the next project on horror films and their remakes (looking at Japan/Spain/US and maybe the UK). I would be happy to meet for a chat if you are free and interested.<br>
I will be at the Waseda residence for visiting scholars. Anyway, let me know... yours, Lola Martinez<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/4/28 Takuo Yasuda <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yasuda@quacks.jp">yasuda@quacks.jp</a>></span><br>

<br>
You can get in touch with Hideo Nakata via his official web site:<br>

As for Takashi Shimizu, I bet you can get in touch with him via Takashige Ichise, who has produced several of his films. Ichise's company's web site is here:<br>

To whom it may concern,<br>
I am an anthropologist based at SOAS (you can see my profile on the SOAS<br>
website), who is thinking about her next project after completing a book on<br>
Kurosawa (Remaking Kurosawa, due out in May). I am interested in contacting<br>
the two directors, Hideo Nakata andTakeshi Shimizu, whose work has recently<br>
been remade by Hollywood (in Shimizu's case he got to direct the remake,<br>
The Grudge). Anyone have any contact information? I would appreciate<br>
trying to set up an interview with them.<br>
Thank you, Dolores (Lola) Martinez<br>
