Joan Allen and Richard Gere will star in a remake of the Japanese film 'Hachiko, A Dog's Story.'

The film is about the relationship of a college professor who befriends a dog he finds abandoned. Both see their lives changed.

The real Hachiko was left waiting at the station for its master not knowing that his master died.

When Japanese say, "Let's meet at Hachiko" outside of Shibuya station, they know where to go.hachiko.jpg

Richard Gere starred in the remake of another Japanese film "Shall We Dance."

I wonder if he would like to play a part in Ring 3 or Grudge 10.

Have you ever seen Hachiko?
