Synopsis: The story of Itta Sayuri, a 9 year old girl sold into slavery at a renowned geisha house in 1929. She provides a narrative examining the decadent Geisha district of Kyoto and weaves the epic tale of her metamorphosis into a star in the geisha culture and the impact of World War II on her world.

Comment: Put on hold for a year by Spielberg at the beginning of 1999. Picked up rights to Arthur Golden's novel. Spielberg dropped out as director in Jan '02. Rob Marshall dropped out because Miramax has an option on his next film and Sony would not split the film with them, but came back on in January 2004.

SBD Review: 3.5 stars
