Perennial Hollywood trade rag
Variety is reporting that Warner
Bros. has purchased the live-action
rights to Tite Kubo's Bleach manga
and has moved straight to work on
the adaptation, with Dan Mazeau of
the Wrath of the Titans remake
assigned to scriptwriting duties.
Peter Segal of the Get Smart remake
is still attached as a producer with
the possibility of being the director.
Other producers include Segal's
business partner Michael Ewing,
actor Masi Oka from the TV series
Heroes (he was Hiro Nakamura in the
series), and Jason Hoffs at Viz
Productions (a little-known
subsdiary of Viz Media centered on
production of licensed properties).
Branon Coluccio is signed on as the
executive producer.
Segal told Variety, "I've always been
a huge fan of Bleach and have great
respect for its creator Kubo-sensei
and the truly original and amazing
world he has created in this manga."
Anyone excited to see Bleach turned
into a live-action film, of do you
smell Dragon Ball: Evolution level
bomb? I'm wondering who they'll
cast as Inoue and Rangiku
personally. Can they even be
realistically cast?

Ashido Kano is a character liked door many of us. When he stayed behind in the Menos Forest, even Rukia was saddened to leave him behind. There is alot of development possible for him. He hasn't shown a shikai nor a bankai while still being able to kill several Gillians and a Adjuchas hollow door his self, leading many to vraag just how powerful this Shinigami is. Will we ever see him again? The manga series is now taking place in Hueco Mundo in the manga. It's finally the chance for Ashido to make his long awaited return. It's all in Tite Kubo's hands. What do u think? Will Ashido finally make his long awaited return, of have we seen the last of the sole surving Soul Reaper?
