March 26, 2010 : Bugs Bunny, Meet Ichigo… Ichigo, Bugs Bunny
Apparently Warner Bros. is in the process of securing movie rights to “Bleach”. Peter Segal might produce (but not direct) the live-action movie about Ichigo and the Soul Society.
The article also states that the studio is already developing an adaptation to “Akira” – that one, I’m indifferent about.
However, the Bleach project could be worthwhile. Skeptics might be worried with Segal’s involvement – particularly since his resume includes such non-genre-related films as Tommy Boy, Nutty Professor II, and 50 First Dates.
I will remain optimistic, hoping that Segal is trying to grow as a filmmaker. After all, Jon Favreau didn’t do many action films before Iron Man.
