According to foreign media sources, the Japanese manga "Killing City" was favored by Hollywood manufacturers and confirmed that it would be made into a live-action movie!
For "Killing City" fans, there is very little news, only that it is produced by Sony Pictures, and I don't know anything about the cast and script story.
The only announcement is that the director confirms that Julius Avery is not famous, not only is there no fame, but also a review of the past resume seems to be a short film origin, long movies have only been filmed in a few, such as "Overlord", Douban is only 6.5 points, it is inevitable to worry about the quality of this "Killing City" live-action movie that does not know when to see.
Kill City is an ancient manga, serialized in Weekly YOUNG JUMP in 2000 by Japanese manga artist Oko Hiroya, and did not end until June 20, 2013, with nearly 20 million manga sold over a 13-year period.
In 2004, it was animated and episodeized, and the beginning and middle parts were highly restored to the manga, but the original adaptation part of the back was very collapsed, which may be due to budget reasons, and only 20 episodes were hastily completed.
In 2010 and 2011, two live-action movies were released, played by Kazuya Ninomiya, Kenichi Matsuyama, Yuriko Yoshitaka and others, but to be honest, the adaptation was mediocre, there was not much highlight, although it was not a bad film, but it did not meet the expectations of fans.
In fact, this kind of astringent and violent bloody work, the audience only wants to see a refreshing and cool, there is no need for the screenwriter to spend a lot of time on the adaptation, since it is thankless, it is better to simply and rudely present the comic plot unchanged.
No, in 2016, the island producers who conformed to the people's hearts made a theatrical version of the animation "Killing City: O".
This time it is in the form of 3D CG, not a real person but rave reviews, and even caused a sensation, because the production is extremely sophisticated, and the plot directly extracts the most bloody and fascinating "Hundred Ghosts Nocturnal Chapter" of the comic, which makes the comic party look crazy and praise, and even passers-by who have not read the comic say that they are looking at it.
Don't say anything, sit and wait for this live-action movie taken over by Hollywood to be released, I believe that as long as it is not shoddy, with the strength of Sony Pictures, it should be more exciting and refreshing than the Japanese version.
