Well, Warner brothers and Appian Way (Leonardo DiCaprio's production company) have acquired the rights to make a live-action Ninja Scroll movie.

And get this, they're actually going to attempt to make a good movie!

They have have the script righter from the Watchmen movie. They plan on casting an actual japanese cast. Not to mention DiCaprio himself is huge fan of Ninja Scroll.

I doubt it will translate well into live action, but it's great to see they'll put some actual effort into it.

Actually, with this one, maybe. I don't think Cowboy Bebop or Akira are going to work but I could kind of see this one.

I can vaguely remember seeing this film around five or six years ago now... from what I can remember (and it basically only comes down to the blind guy who fights by sound) it might work... might.

There's some potential here, I'm far more keen for this than Dragon Ball or Shadow of the Colossus (Loved the game, should be left alone). But I've got a lot of respect for diCaprio, hes done some great stuff.

Anyone with an IMDB account able to get more information from this?

Cue fanboys who will rage about the movie not being exactly like the original.

*that's your cue!* BUT IT WON'T BE! JUBEI WILL PROBABLY CHARACTERISED COMPLETELY WRONG, AND THEY WILL OMIT THE RAPE AND ALL OF THE OTHER IMPORTANT PLOT POINTS! *etc. More caps*

I still don't trust them though. I'll just repress this one like I did Dragon Ball: Evolution.
