French cinema icon Catherine Deneuve heads the cast of Japan-set fantasy film 'Spirit World' by Singapore director Eric Khoo.
The project was revealed by the city government of Takasaki, an ancient town on Honshu Island between Tokyo and Kyoto, where production began over the weekend. Deneuve has had a lengthy career with highlights including “Les Parapluies de Cherbourg” (“The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”), “Belle de Jour,” “Dancer in the Dark” and “Indochine.” She suffered a minor stroke in 2019, but has since resumed work, starring recently as Bernadette Chirac in “Bernadette” and in “Funny Birds,” which is executive produced by Martin Scorsese. The picture, a co-production involving outfits from Singapore, Japan, Indonesia and the U.K., follows a Japanese soldier and a British prisoner of war who are stranded on a deserted island, but soon discover they are not alone.
