Directed by Academy Award(R)-nominee Rob Marshall ('Chicago') and produced by Lucy Fisher, Douglas Wick, and Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Robin Swicord and Doug Wright, 'Memoirs of a Geisha' features an all-star Asian cast including Michelle Yeoh ('Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'), Koji Yakusho ('Shall We Dance?
