I'm guessing the movie is being done mostly because of the Korean film. I love the series, but it did so-so in the ratings - it's average was 12.2% or so. Who knows, but I do think the film is being made because of the Korean remake. I wonder how far the series and films vary from the novel itself? I do wish it would get translated into English.
You didn't really like Yamada Takayuki in the role? I've seen him in a lot, and think he's talented. But, I'm sure they'll change his character to someone else. I just hope it's not a Johnny, because. . .the Ryo character is very dark and complex, especially in his relationships with Yuki and the detective.
