Little Country no more and Morimoto Shintarou's worldwide debut

It has been announced that the movie Morimoto Shintarou will be starring in, which has been renamed from Little Country to Snow Prince: Kinjirareta Koi no Melody, is being set to have a worldwide run. According to the latest press release at least 17 countries have sent offers to screen the movie in their country.

Undoubtable this is more because the script writer for the film is the same writer who wrote the script for the Oscar winning movie Departures. But in any case it could mean big things for Shintarou if he manages to grab international attention from this.

EDIT

Looks like this wasn't the only news for Shintarou. According to the Johnny's net page for the TV listing for the Juniors he will be joining Nakayama in the still untitled drama that Nakayama will be starring it. This will be the second time the two have been in a drama together, as Shintarou played Nakayama's younger brother in Battery.
