Jim Sheridan (In America) is set to direct Ikiru, DreamWorks remake of the 1952 Akira Kurosawa film that is being touted starring vehicle for Tom Hanks.
Sheridan will shoot the movie in New York. It's the story of a low-level bureaucrat who discovers that after 30 years in the same job, he's contracted stomach cancer. Determined to seek more from the remaining moments of his life, the man initially seeks out decadent pursuits before deciding he wants to leave behind something memorable.
The remake has been written by Freedomland (read more on that here)author Richard Price. Sheridan will work with the writer to finalise the script.
