Fans of Nokuto Koike’s Japanese horror manga series 6000: Rokusen will be happy to learn today that a feature film adaptation is currently in the works, set to plunge American audiences deep below the ocean’s surface for a nightmarish adventure. Read on for details!
Per Variety, All Nippon Entertainment Works and Black Swan producer Mike Medavoy are partnering to adapt the deep sea thriller 6000 in partnership with Gentosha Comics. The English-language film will be produced by Medavoy, Edward McGurn, and Ben Anderson.
The film is set 6,000 meters below the ocean’s surface at a research facility where a mysterious disaster killed the crew and shuttered the station. When a new team is sent down to get the operation running again three years later, tension builds as they struggle against the claustrophobic environment, their own deteriorating minds and danger lurking in the depths.
“We were immediately drawn to the tension of 6000 and are looking forward to bringing this psychological thriller to the international movie audience,” Medavoy said.
