Miike, Lau and Park to make "Asian Curse Story"

[Don Brown]

Directors Miike Takashi, Andrew Lau and Park Chan-wook are to team up for 
the the Japan/South Korea/Hong Kong co-production "Asian Curse Story" 
(current title), a three-part omnibus horror film.

The Miike-helmed Japanese instalment "Box" stars model and actress Hasegawa 
Kyoko, who was personally selected by Hong Kong producer Peter Chan. 
Shooting took place this month at an elementary school in Aizu Wakamatsu, 
Fukushima over two weeks.

"Box" synopsis:
As a child, novelist Kyoko (Hasegawa) accidentally caused the death of her 
twin sister, who was the favorite of their father (Watabe Atsuro). She 
meets an editor who is the spitting image of her missing father, and begins 
to suspect that he may be involved somehow. One day, an invitation arrives 
at Kyoko's office. The address written on the invitation is the place where 
her sister burned to death... 

"JSA" director Park Chan-wook is in charge of the South Korean entry, while 
"Infernal Affairs" director Andrew Lau will be handling the Hong Kong 
segment. Their respective casts have yet to be announced.

"Asian Curse Story" is scheduled for an autumn release in Japan, South 
Korea and Hong Kong, and may also be submitted to the Venice and Berlin 
film festivals.
