Adaptation

As a means to ensure that Akira isn't the only adaptation on its way to being excellent, Warner Brothers is bringing in some really big names to breathe life into the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, All You Need Is Kill.

Warner Brothers is going to the well again to make sure that the script for their upcoming adaptation of the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, All You Need is Kill, is as top notch as can be. So who better to bring on board than a writer who knows all about the dead?

With World War Z looking stable on the horizon and "The Walking Dead" becoming a smash hit on TV and home video, everyone's trying to sink their claws into the next hot item regarding the cold ones. That's right, flesh-eaters, there's another adaptation on its way.

Let's get this out of the way immediately ... this has NOTHING to do with The Twilight Saga or any type of otherworldly creatures who shimmer when they shouldn't! We're talking some good old fashioned Koontz style horror here, kids!

Not content with just remaking different kinds of American projects, Hollywood has outstretched its claws across the pond so that it may dig into another popular UK series.

A quick update regarding Warner Bros.' big screen adaptation of the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, All You Need is Kill. Ryan Gosling (Drive, Fracture, Blue Valentine) has been offered the role of "Private Billy Cage" in director Doug Liman's big screen take on the tale.

The last time we spoke about the possibility of a big screen adaptation of the hit 2K Games property BioShock was nearly a year ago. Sadly the project, like many others before it, has hit lots of pitfalls and delays, and today the film's producer Gore Verbiniski has shed some light on why.

Finally after about a year of absolute silence, there's a bit of movement to speak of regarding the live action adaptation of the Glen Brunswick and John Romita, Jr. tale of purgatory and redemption -- The Gray Area.

It's been a while since last we spoke about Warner Bros.' big screen adaptation of the Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, All You Need is Kill, but with time comes interest from interesting directors.

In a startling turn of events, Hollywood has decided to mine the many comic book resources out there to come up with new ideas for movies. Who would have thunk it! This new way of thinking could very well catch on, people! Who knows? We may end up living in a work with dozens of big screen adaptations one day. Oh, wait ... From the Press Release

Is it weird that the entire time I've been readying myself to write this story I've been singing the title aloud to the tune of The Beatles song "All You Need Is Love"? I just can't stop either. See? I bet you're doing it now. Yep, just try and stop.

We all get a little lost sometimes. Even the creatures out there who haunt the shadows of the night. Imagine the pressures associated with executing the perfect kill or shaking that ever so troublesome angry mob off your tail. Thankfully there are programs out there to help keep our monsters sane. Sort of.

Graphic novels (or in this case Japanese manga) have been the single most popular bits of source material for Hollyweird these past few years, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. Not just content with having a big screen version of Akira on the way, the house of the bunny has another trick up its sleeve!

With the success of this weekend's The Wolfman, it seems as if the spotlight is once again poised on the famous monsters of yesteryear. Hollywood is now talking a big screen adaptation of acclaimed horror author Dean R. Koontz's telling of Frankenstein with the hopes of turning it into a new franchise.

While it would have kicked a copious amount of ass to have Gore Verbinski at the helm of the live action adaptation of the Take Two video game BioShock, it just wasn't in the cards. That's okay, though, because Universal's next choice is a winner and a half.
