I think that this territory could do well in the Japanese market, that is, if they manage to be successfull in finding a "Japanese sensibility" in the adaptation.
Would be interesting to see a shift from the current paradigm of Japanese horror remakes in any case...

I just stumbled across this bit of information on the imdb (http://www.imdb..com/title/tt1236373/news#ni0601446):

Has anyone else heard about this proposed Japanese remake of Alexander Payne's wonderful wine-tasting comedy Sideways? It will be interesting to see how it turns out, if it does indeed turn out... 


"Hollywood is still hell-bent on remaking movies from foreign countries, that much won't change anytime soon (Grumble, grumble, stupid Spielberg, grumble), but that doesn't mean the river can't flow both ways, or whatever the expression is. Usually we've got Turkey and India to rely on for cracktastic remakes of Hollywood movies—occasionally Russia (movies/movie-news/1274-wait-for-it-russian-commando.html)—with the results end up being cheap knock-offs. A legitimate Japanese remake of Sideways is currently shooting in Napa Valley wine country, co-starring Oscar nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel), a collaboration by Fox Japan and Fuji TV."
