Sawajiri Erika in talks for Okuyama Kazuyoshi's new movie project?

Japanese gossip website "Real Live" claims to have gotten wind of an interesting movie offer for the scandal-ridden Sawajiri Erika.

Apparently she has received a love call from movie producer Okuyama Kazuyoshi, the same person who referred to Sawajiri as the "favorite child of� the Japanese movie industry" at the end of last year.

Okuyama once was one of the managing directors of a major movie studio, called "Shochiku", before he decided to pass on his position in order to found "Team Okuyama". His next project is said to be the live-adaption of "Umitsubame Hotel Blue", an intense novel about revenge and love by award-winning writer,�Funado Yoichi.

Okuyama has already able to get Wakamatsu Koji as the director for this project, and for those that don't know, Wakamatsu is a well-acclaimed director for his pink films and controversial movies. Last year, actress Terajima Shinobu won a Silver Bear as the Best Actress at the "Berlin International Film Festival" for her role in his latest movie, "Caterpillar". It is said that Okuyama personally wrote a letter to Sawajiri to talk her into accepting the role as a heroine that completely derails the life and the revenge plan of the protagonist.

The filming is supposed to begin this month, but since they haven't yet gotten a reply from Sawajiri's side, they wouldn't mind filming her scenes in the summer. Both Okuyama and Wakamatsu are veterans, and have already had to deal with various actresses that turned out to be quite the "problem children" in their career. A movie insider commented, "If anybody knows how to deal with Sawajiri, it's them."

It is easy to forget sometimes, but Sawajiri is actually still an actress and not just a tabloid personality, and this could be a significant role.

What are you thoughts on this rumor?
