I am assuming it was the Palme win that allowed him to cross frontiers. Now, moving to Korea, he impresses with Broker, a characteristically restrained study of morally compromised outsiders. He went on to shoot The Truth, a sophisticated family drama, in Paris with Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke. That triumph with Shoplifters did not trigger the same sort of industry-churning sensation that Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite managed following its Palme a year later, but Koreeda has been making the most of his belated elevation. Still, it’s a strong fit for the rising star.In 2019, Hirokazu Koreeda, a contender for Japan’s most-admired living director, finally won the Palme d’Or he’d been circling at Cannes for a decade or so. There’s no word on how, or even if, Wang’s film will further alter the story, which is ripe for all sorts of reimaginings and reinterpretations (perhaps set in the states? maybe featuring switched at birth daughters?). Kore-eda’s film starred Fukuyama Masaharu, Ono Machiko, Maki Yoko, and Lily Franky, and was produced by Kameyama Chihiro, Hatanaka Tatsuro, and Tom Yoda. Sundance Selects released the dramedy in the U.S., which examines two very different families who discover that their six-year-old sons were switched at birth. Kore-eda’s 2013 feature debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won both the Jury Prize and the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury – Special Mention. Playwright Sarah Ruhl has been attached to write the screenplay and Wang will produce alongside Josh McLaughlin under his Wink Productions banner.
A source close to Focus confirms the news, and that it is currently in early development stages at the studio. Observer reports that Wang has been tapped to direct an English-language remake of the beloved Hirokazu Kore-eda film “ Like Father, Like Son” for Focus Features. “The Farewell” filmmaker Lulu Wang has reportedly added another major product to her growing slate.
