Kurosawa Again + Nikkatsu

[Aaron Gerow]

It was announced that a completed script by the late Kurosawa Akira, 
entitled "Umi wa mite ita," will finally brought to the screen through 
the megaphone of Kumai Kei.  This will be the second Kurosawa script, 
following Ame agaru, to be filmed posthumously.  The film about women in 
the Fukugawa pleasure quarters in the Edo era is based on a Yamamoto 
Shugoro story and will star Shimizu Misa.  Nikkatsu and Sony Pictures 
will produce it.

Apparently, at the news conference, Nikkatsu president Nakamura Masaya 
said there is a plan to move the company's studio from it's long-time 
home in Chofu to Yokohama.  Anyone know any specifics about that?
