Reiko just sent me a piece of rumor.
A post appeared on IMDB bulletin board says that James Ivory's "The City of Your Final Destination", in which Sanada-san plays Pete (a gay partner of the main character played by Anthony Hopkins), will premiere in early 2009.
The following is the board post by everdene:
Merchant Ivory has finally straightened out their financing and legal
issues, the film has been bonded and filming is complete. Jorge Drexler
("The Motorcycle Diaries") is composing the score. The film will most likely
premiere at Sundance (January) or the Berlin Film Festival (February)
Reiko thinks that if that is true, the commercial showing will be maybe in summer of 2009 or so.
Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

I really hope this news is true!! I have waited this movie so long!
