News > Gondry Teams up with Seagal's Daughter for Tokyo Anthology

Written by David Morgan

Quirky French director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep) told MTV that he will contribute a thirty minute segment to an anthology film called Tokyo along with Joon-ho Bong and Leos Carax. "It’s all connected with Tokyo. [My segment] is a story about a girl who tries to move into Tokyo with her boyfriend and, she can’t find an apartment or a job. She eventually turns into a chair."

The best part though: "The actress we cast [Ayako Fujitani] turned out to be Steven Seagal’s daughter,” Gondry exclaimed. “I didn’t know he had a Japanese daughter! I didn’t know she was half American." Trying to picture Seagal's features on a young woman is uncomfortable to say the least. Gondry's films get more surreal all the time.
