A remake of the movie `Rikidozan,` starring Seol Kyung-ku, will open in Japan in March of next year. Unlike the previous version, which opened in Korea last December, the new version features many Japanese actors, according to the movie`s production company. In fact, Seol has recently visited Japan to re-dub his lines in Japanese.

`Rikidozan` was initially to open concurrently in Korea and Japan, but its opening in Japan was postponed due to a problem at the Japanese distributor, and until recently, no one knew for sure when the movie would hit Japanese theaters. `We are late with the opening but we are preparing thoroughly for it,` said a person from the production company.

Seol`s agency says the actor is considering visiting Japan in March of next year as the Japanese media is showing great interest in the movie. `
