Jennifer Garner is to star in the remake of the Japanese hit
Be With You, according to Variety.
Originally directed by Nobuhiro Doi from a novel by Takuji Ichikawa,
Be With You prospered during a flurry of Japanese tearjerkers and added a supernatural element to its love story formula. On her deathbed, a dying young woman tells her husband and young son that she will return to them. A year later, father and son happen upon a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to the dead woman.
