I HATE remakes! You have to have huge balls to remake a Akira Kurosawa Film. Shinji Higuchi Must have them because he is wrapping up his remake of Kurosawa's The HIDDEN FORTRESS; the film that the great STAR WARS is based.  I had heard rumors that it was going to star a J-pop boy band in the title roles. Yuck! The teaser trailer is out and I must say it does not look bad. Kurosawa's film is a classic it does not need to be remade but lets hope that Higuchi's version does the first justice.---- Rick
