The iconic Japanese director who worked with Nicolas Cage on Prisoners of the Ghostland has been accused of sexual harassment. The accusation was made in Shukan Josei magazine last month, but the director has not yet responded to it.

The actress, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that many Japanese actresses have succeeded in movies because of having sex with Sono, writes The Hollywood Reporter.

"Even now, there is a director who has no qualms about saying 'If you screw me, I'll give you work'." His films are acclaimed and many actresses want to appear in them. He uses that to assault women as if it's nothing. ", — added the alleged victim of the director.
