Trailer for Hero(2007)
The movie Hero(2007) is number one at the Box Office in Japan. The film, which stars Kimura Takuya (who you may have seen in the Wong Kar Wai film 2046), is a movie sequel to the 2001 drama of the same name. Hero the drama was about a brilliant yet casually-dressed and offbeat prosecutor that is transfered to a Tokyo office. In the drama he falls in love with his assisstant who eventually become a prosecutor as well as fall in love with him. Okay, typical drama set up but it was very, very popular. The movie invloves him reprising his role (obviously) and he makes a trip to Korea to do some investigating.
Interestingly, this movie stars Hallyu star Lee Byung Hun. You may have seen him in the drama All In or his 2004 movie Everybody has Secrets
Number two in the box office is the anime film Eva: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone. It’s the first of four Evangelion movies. The next one Evangelion: 2.0 will be released in 2008.
Eva: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
Number four was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (which underwhelmed me at best).
