Warner Bros. Japan and Toho are partnering to co-produce a live-action film based on the popular anime and manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 13 Assassins director Takashi Miike is on board to helm the movie, which will release sometime in summer 2017. Warner Bros. Japan and Toho are planning for a worldwide distribution.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure centers around the stories of the Joestar family and their battles against supernatural forces with their own own special powers. The film adaptation will star Kento Yamazaki as the series' main character, Josuke Higashikata.
During Warner Bros. Japan and Toho's press conference to announce the live-action adaptation, Yamazaki confirmed the movie will film in Spain. Miike also shared a few words about the film, saying, "I'm a nervous type and didn't sleep for a few nights thinking about whether to accept the offer for this project."
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a long-running manga series from writer and illustrator by Hirohiko Araki. Following its debut in Shonen Jump back in 1987, the franchise has gone on to receive several anime, film and video game adaptations.
