“Right now the season has been suspended. It wasn’t shooting right now because everything in Japan is shut down anyway, but you know even though things are getting up and things will begin again shortly they have suspended it and I think it may go away for a while or it may be done. That’s the situation there. There’s definitely threats on people who made terriorististic threats to her.”
