New Photoshoot & ICWTR Distribution News June 18th, 2009 | Posted by Annie

A new photo taken by Nino Munoz. I’m not sure when and for what this picture was taken. But enjoy: (Thanks to spunky2b for the find.) About ICWTR distribution, this year’s Cannes Film Festival did show ICWTR. It was screened on May 14th and 16th, but it was only for buyers only. The film got good feedback from international buyers. So cross-fingers, the film will be distributed worldwide. [Source] (Thanks to Corinne for the find)

MORE MORE “I come with the rain” June 12th, 2009 | Posted by Annie

Continuing my previous post on SMAPxSMAP, there is a longer and much much clearer version of the ICWTR cast on the show on YOUTUBE. It’s even in HQ! I’ll add this version to the video archive later. So at the beginning of the clip, Takuya Kimura asked Josh and Lee Byung hun if they went out to drink the night before, Josh pointed at Byung-hun and joked, “Yea. It was him mostly.” (LOL.. I can imagine Byung hun chugging down soju) Also, in the part where Shingo wrote on Josh’s palm… he wrote “Hit” = “Good Box Office” and told Josh that those words were in his palm lines. LMAO A Korean fan translated the Japanese subtitles of the SMAPxSMAP and wrote out the dialogue in Korean with screencaptures: 1 | 2 New pics of Josh in doing ICWTR interviews:      Here is another interview with Josh in Japanese. [Proceed] Here is another bit of the Movie Collection Interview. He talks about being in control and his first reaction to the final cut of ‘I Come with the Rain’. You can download it below: (Thanks to Corinne for the find) Here is a new Japanese TV spot on ICWTR. There are many new clips! I have trouble downloading it, so you can only watch it online. [Proceed] Thanks to Kers for the video.  More pictures of the ICWTR Japanese Premiere from a HK fan Blog. [Proceed] So according to this blog, the reason why no photos were allowed to be taken was because there is some sort of artist right with Takuya Kimura. The PR people at the premiere explained that no foreign media are allowed to take pictures of Takuya and use his image in magazines or in articles. Lastly, ICWTR is number 5 on the Japan Box Office, taking in $638,731 over the weekend. [SOURCE]

ICWTR cast on Japan’s SmapxSmap June 9th, 2009 | Posted by Annie

Another new clip of a Japanese TV program covering the ICWTR Japan press conference. Josh praises his co-stars. He says that Takuya Kimura was very gracious and hard-working. As for Lee Byung-hun, Josh also praised him for being hard-working but was suprised that he was funny as his previous roles were usually very serious. You can watch it on YOUTUBE HERE. So, I finally got to watch Josh-shu Hart-ta-net-toh on Smap x Smap, a Japanese variety show. I think he is not used to Asian variety shows, because he looked a little uncomfortable, especially at the bit where the host, Shingo, who was acting as a lady, was touching him everywhere. But I LOLed at the bit where Josh smacks Shingo’s hand when he was touching Josh’s knees. It was also really funny when Shingo kept trying to hit on Lee Byung hun and touching his muscles. All Takuya did was trying to stop Shingo. They also played a match of arm wrestling against Shingo. Josh let Shingo win lol. I hope they also promote ICWTR in Korea and Hong Kong, so that they will go on MORE variety shows! Anyways, you can watch the Smap X Smap clip online at TUDOU.COM (better quality) or on PHOTOBUCKET.com (lower quality). Here is a better quality clip of the arm-wrestling part at DAUM.NET (also with some screencaps). OR you can download it to your computer by clicking on the thumbnail below: You can watch more ICWTR clips on TUDOU.COM. Most of them are the same as what I’ve posted before. So I guess ICWTR is really popular in Japan and they are really trying to promote the movie. A fan said that they gave out ICWTR plastic umbrella bags in the department stores in Japan on rainy days for people to put their wet umbrellas in while shopping. Also, 30 Days of Night is being released in Japan on the 22nd of August (I know.. such a late release date). And a new Japanese official site for the movie has been launched [View it here]. Thanks to Corinne for the news. ___________________________________________________________________ Josh-Shu Hart-ta-net-toh says NO!

“I come with the rain” Japan Interview June 7th, 2009 | Posted by Annie

There are some new videos of Josh with Takuya Kimura and Lee Byung Hun doing press for ICWTR on a Japanese TV channel. The interview and commentary is mainly in Japanese, except for Lee Byung Hun speaking in Korean and of course Josh in English. Watch it on youtube: + Link 1 [Proceed] + Link 2 [Proceed] + Link 3 [Proceed] + Link 4 [Proceed] I also made a downloadable version on the VIDEO ARCHIVE site: A little highlight from the interview: Kimura-san had asked Byunghun-ssi how does he memorize his scripts? BH’s reply was that he never memorizes the lines by heart as he will instead analyze the character he’s playing and the background of the plot which will automatically help him better to convey his acting. BH was very serious in thinking for a good question to ask Josh Hartnett and that’s why he took such a long time to ask the question. After taking quite awhile to respond, Byunghun-ssi’s question to Josh was when the latter will get married. JH answered, “nope, not for awhile as he hasn’t found the right girl”. Josh in return asked Kimura-san who is the his most favourite American actor and TK answered Sean Penn whom Josh agreed as well. He then proceed to ask Takuya’s fave American co-star that he had worked with. This question has prompted a big laugh from Byunghun-ssi because the answer would be so obvious. In the end, the interviewer asked the boys what is the “cross” that they are carrying on their backs now? (meaning the burden/responsibility they carry now). BH’s reply was as age grows, the feeling of being a responsible man is also growing. TK’s reply was as a member of SMAP, they have to continue more team spirit. Josh’s reply was to get through the interview without saying anything that will “haunt” his career later. Credit: Written by Pandahunnie The russian release date for ICWTR is the 17th of September. [Source] Thanks to Corinne for the news. And the release date for ‘Bunraku’ has been pushed back to 2010. [Source]
