Rinko Kikuchi to star in ‘Map of the Sounds of Tokyo’

2 years after her break-through, Oscar-nominated performance in “Babel” and a few months before her next Hollywood flick, “The Brothers Bloom” is released, Rinko Kikuchi is in talks to star in Map of the Sounds of Tokyo, directed by Isabel Coixet. The film will be produced by the Spanish company Mediapro but is set in Japan. The story involves a fish market employee (Kikuchi) who doubles as a contract killer. The Spanish-born Coixet has formerly directed various critically-acclaimed dramas like “Elegy” starring Penelope Cruz and “My Life Without Me” starring Sarah Polley.
