Monday 10th January 2005: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
It's been a aeon in development hell, but finally Rob Marshall has managed to film Memoirs of a Geisha, and from the sheer beauty of these promo images it looks like the wait has been worthwhile! The movie stars Zhang Yimou and Ken Watanabe, two actors I and I'm sure a lot of you out there have a lot of time for. Expect this to be a huge hit and and an oscar bidder come December this year.

Tuesday 21st September 2004: Memoirs of a Geisha update:
Karl Yune joins the star-studded cast of the film based on the book Memoirs of a Geisha. Zhang Ziyi, Ken Watanabe, Michelle Yeoh, Gong Li, Youki Kudoh, and Koji Yakusho have already been cast. Cameras are set to roll later this year. He is set to play the love interest of Gong Li's character.

Friday 20th August 2004: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
The Last Samurai star Ken Watanabe is to headline the adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha along with Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, Youki Kudoh and Koji Yakusho.

Written by Ron Bass, Akiva Goldsman and Robin Swicord, the film is produced by Wick, Fisher and Steven Spielberg.

Friday 30th January 2004: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
Columbia/Dreamworks has signed up Robin Swicord to write the latest version of the script for Memoirs of a Geisha that will be directed by Rob Marshall. The movie is being executive produced by Steven Speilberg, who held onto this project for many a year until finally passing on it.

Monday 27th October 2003: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
Oscar-winning Chicago director Rob Marshall says that he’s optimistic his
next project will be the movie version of the best-selling novel Memoirs of
a Geisha, despite a battle between major studios for the fledgling
filmmaker's services. Marshall's contract with Miramax obligates him to do
his second film with them, but "Memoirs" is a Columbia and DreamWorks film.
"It's complicated because it involves a lot of different players," he said.
"It's flattering in a way, because you have a lot of people saying 'We want
him to do this picture. No, we want him to do this picture.' I'm anxious to
go to work. I believe I need to do this picture." A Miramax spokesman
confirmed that the companies have been negotiating to strike a deal,
although nothing has been settled yet. Arthur Golden's novel is about a
geisha's rise from a Japanese fishing village to life in high society.

Friday 17th October 2003: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
Chicago director Rob Marshall's talks to helm Memoirs of a Geisha have
stalled over whether Miramax, which has an option on Marshall, will come on
board as a co-producer on the film. Marshall had signaled interest in
helming the adaptation of Arthur Gold's novel, but things got complicated
after Miramax notified Marshall that it planned to exercise its option on
him to direct his second feature for the company. Talks ensued among
Miramax, Columbia and DreamWorks. Several scenarios were put on the table
whereby Miramax would join as a co-producer, but none was acceptable to all
three studios.

Friday 13th June 2003: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
Chicago helmer Rob Marshall has emerged as favourite to direct Memoirs of a
Geisha. Steven Spielberg had been originally attached to direct the movie,
but then withdrew. He will, however, retain a producer role.

Tuesday 11 th February 2003: Memoirs of a Geisha Update:
Producer Doug Wick has announced that a director will be hired very shortly for Memoirs Of A Geisha with an eye for a release in 2004.

Friday 25th October 2002:Memoirs Of A Geisha Update:
Director Spike Jonze has dropped out of the long (and I do mean long) in development Memoirs Of A Geisha. No word on a replacement or why he dropped out.
