Korea Adapts Japanese Lit Left And Right
Date: 5/11/2006
The Korea Times has a lengthy article on the current frenzy brewing in the entertainment industry there to adapt Japanese manga and novels into movies. The crossover success of existing Japanese film and TV is also examined and it's mentioned that 70 percent of animations aired through Animation-only cable-TV channels such as Champ and Animax are Japanese. Including ``Fly Daddy,'' scenarios of more than 20 films currently in production in Korea come from Japanese novels. Considering about 80 Korean movies are produced each year, this means about a quarter are based on Japanese novels. Director Kwak Kyong-taek, known for his 2001 mega-hit ``Friend,'' is working on turning popular Japanese writer Ryu Murakami's novel ``Get away from the Peninsula'' into a movie.
