It was announced earlier today that Warner Bros has been pursuing the rights to Bleach. The multi-billiondollar film production company seems to be grappling onto any popular franchsie these days! Warners Bros seeks to americanize the highly succesful manga & anime Bleach into a live action movie to maximise profits from a pre-existing fanbase.

Bleach follows a teenage boy named Ichigo Kurosaki who is granted Shinigami (Death God) powers and has the ability to see souls and creatures known as hollows. In his training to become a full fledged Shinigami he encounters new enemies and secrets of his own family and those within Soul Society.

The main question manga & anime fans are asking is – Will it be a complete toss up like Dragonball Evolution? Sure it’s never good when a Japanese manga & anime is americanised but could they at least do it at a bad level where’s it tolerable? Warner Bros have also signed on to create live action movies of Death Note, Ninja Scroll & Akira. Director Peter Segal (Anger Managment, The Longest Yard and Get Smart) has signed onto the Bleach project.
