forgotten/not known that Ishiguro did the screenplay for that

I first heard it was happening because I ran across an article in which Ishiguro talked about how it had occurred to him to re-set the story in England of the same period, which it would be useful if I remembered the details of.

so now I'm wondering if that's because this re-visioning has a different focus or whether I just missed that in the original.

From what I have read, I don't know that the new film has a different focus so much as the idea of stepping outside of the cogs of bureaucracy has a different resonance in context of Ishiguro's work, where his characters are more likely to stay on the rails of their assigned roles, than it does in Kurosawa's.
