The official website for Barbet Schroeder's Inju (Inju, la bête dans l'ombre) is now online, and there's a teaser trailer for the movie on it. Also, there's an image gallery for the movie on the website of AlloCiné.

According to a news release from international sales agent UGC International (http://www.ugc.fr/), the screenplay for Inju was written by Frédérique Henri, Jean-Armand Bougrelle, Eitan Arrusi, and Schroeder, based on the novel Beast in the Shadows (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/4902075210/) (Injû) by Ranpo Edogawa (a.k.a. Edogawa Rampo; né Tarô Hirai). The movie stars Benoît Magimel, Lika Minamoto (http://www.crystal-models.com/en/model/Lika+Minamoto), Gen Shimaoka, Ryô Ishibashi (http://www.universal-music.co.jp/ishibashi_ryo/), Shun Sugata (http://homepage3.nifty.com/T-ARTIST/syun/syun-pr.html), Tomonobu Fukui (http://www.fmg.jp/m_fukui.htm), and Erika Niibo (http://www.natsuki-pro.co.jp/proff/nibo/).

Here's a synopsis for Inju from Cineuropa (http://www.cineuropa.org/): "[Inju] centres on Alex Fayard (Magimel), a novelist who comes to Japan to promote his new book. During his stay, he falls passionately in love with a geisha (Minamoto), who tells him she has received death threats from her lover. ¶ In accepting to help her, he finds himself face to face with Shundei Oe, a director of thrillers of which Alex is an expert in France. This encounter plunges him into a world of mystery and perversity, following the traces of a man hungry for revenge."

UGC Distribution (http://www.ugcdistribution.fr/) is scheduled to release Inju theatrically in France on September 24th.
