Garner Agrees To Be With You
Jennifer Garner (Elektra, Alias) will produce and star in a remake of the 2004 Japanese hit Be With You, Variety reported. Garner's newly formed Vandalia Films banner will develop the project in conjunction with Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen (American Beauty).
The original film was directed by Nobuhiro Doi from a novel by Takuji Ichikawa. It centers on a dying woman who pledges on her deathbed to return to her husband and young son. A year later, the father and son happen upon a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the dead woman. Variety reports that Warner Brothers is close to announcing a director for the project.
