By watching all of the episodes, and seeing the differing characters\u2019 perspectives, the audience will come away with the truth behind the mystery.<\/p>\n<p>Amblin TV\u2019s co-presidents, Darryl Frank (<em>The Americans<\/em>, <em>The Haunting of Hill House<\/em>) and Justin Falvey (<em>The Americans<\/em>, <em>The Haunting of Hill House<\/em>), along with Atmosphere\u2019s Mark Canton (<em>Power<\/em>), and Leigh Ann Burton from Opus 7 are executive producers. David Hopwood from Atmosphere also executive produces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to adapt this extraordinary film as the foundation for a new dramatic mystery thriller series,\u201d said Frank and Falvey. \u201cIt will explore the boundaries of truth and how different perspectives don\u2019t often reveal the same reality. We also couldn\u2019t be happier to be in business with Mark, Leigh Ann and David, who are great producers and partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canton said: \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to dig in with Justin and Darryl and everyone at Amblin as we adapt this iconic title for television. We feel this storytelling approach and the way it explores truth and reality is especially timely in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burton added: \u201cIt has been an honor to work with the Kurosawa Estate, and to partner with Amblin Television and Mark Canton, to create a series inspired by <em>Rashomon<\/em>, written by Akira Kurosawa. I can think of no better way to introduce today\u2019s television audience to the legacy of this brilliant and esteemed filmmaker.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amblin Television has optioned the rights to Akira Kurosawa\u2019s iconic film\u00a0Rashomon\u00a0as the basis for a new dramatic mystery thriller series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2658],"class_list":["post-10529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amblin-television","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
