Ten to Sen (Points and Lines)

Ten to Sen (English title: Points and Lines) written by Seicho Matsumoto has been remade into a TV movie!

It's due to be aired in two parts on Nov. 24 and 25 from 9pm on TV Asahi network! It features a slew of good Japanese actors and actresses, led by Beat Takeshi.

I'm hoping it's a good remake!! (ﾜｸﾜｸ)

My reaction after last night:

DUHHHH!!!! Waste of time and money (having so many big-name actors in cameo roles)!

Crappy lead actor and crappy scenario!

If you're interested, see the old film or, better yet, read the book!

:auch:

Yea, I watched it too, I give it maybe a 3 out of 10... definitely sub-par.
