When you’ve got seen the 1999 Japanese horror movie Audition, you realize it is a film meaning enterprise. It’s kind of of a sluggish burn, however as soon as it will get going and heads in direction of its ugly climax, you may’t assist however have to select your mouth up from off the ground. It is a kind of movies that should not be touched once more as a result of it is excellent as is however, that is Hollywood. Any movie is in play for a brand new take, and it appears prefer it’s Audition’s flip to get the remake remedy.
Per Deadline, a brand new tackle Takashi Miike’s Audition is within the works, with a deal close to to being closed for Focus Options, Hyde Park Leisure, and Mario Kassar Productions to provide the movie. What’s promising right here is that Christian Tafdrup, who directed the unique Danish model of Communicate No Evil, is co-writing the venture together with his brother Mads Tafdrup. Communicate No Evil is among the greatest horror movies lately, and it wasn’t afraid to go bleak. So meaning Tafdrup will doubtless honor Audition’s bleak sensibilities. He’ll even be utilizing Ryu Murakami’s 1997 novel because the inspiration for his new take.
Now, Tafdrup had his personal movie remade final yr when Blumhouse optioned an American model of Communicate No Evil. Whereas his ideas on the whole movie are unknown, he did take problem with the American model altering the ending of the unique movie for a extra action-driven finale that turned away from his extra dour conclusion.
When talking in regards to the ending of the remake, he mentioned, “I do not know what it’s about Individuals, however they’re introduced up for a heroic story, the place the nice should win over the unhealthy, and this model of the movie cultivates that.” I say all that to say that Tafdrup is not afraid to go darkish, and I might guess cash that Focus Options will let him showcase Audition in all of its demented glory.
‘Audition’ is a True Horror Masterpiece
Directed by Miike and written by Daisuke Tengan, Audition focuses on a middle-aged widower named Shigenharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) who makes use of his movie producer to place collectively a faux audition so he can meet a brand new girlfriend. All of it appears nice and harmless till he chooses Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina) who has a really sinister darkish previous. It type of takes the notion of blind dates, turns them on their head, and makes you by no means wish to go on one ever once more.

Not solely is Audition a seminal Japanese horror movie, nevertheless it’s one which has been warmly obtained by all style followers, significantly for its closing scenes, which aren’t for people who find themselves simply squeamish. The movie carries an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes with a consensus that reads, “An audacious, unsettling Japanese horror movie from Takashi Miike, Audition entertains as each a grisly shocker and a psychological drama.”
