“I am delighted to work with Amblin Partners and HBO Max to reimagine Rashomon for today’s audience,” Hisao Kurosawa, son of the iconic director, said in a statement.
“I am excited to see my dad’s vision through this inspirational story kept alive and made accessible to a new generation.”
It’s been two years since word first broke that Amblin TV was developing a series adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s acclaimed drama Rashomon and now the studio has revealed it is partnering with HBO Max for the forthcoming project.
Our series will honor the impact of the original work and explore the age-old concept of objective truth versus subjective perspective in our modern times.”
