And NO, this won't be done by Warner Brothers or Hollywood for any matter!!!
The Sankei Sports newspaper reports that Japanese film production company Studio Swan (Paradise Kiss) is developing a live-action feature adaptation of Nobuhiro Watsuki’s 1994-1999 samurai adventure manga Rurouni Kenshin. Keishi Otomo, who directed actor Takeru Satoh in last year’s historical drama TV series Ryomaden, will direct the film with Satoh starring as Himura Kenshin. Satoh was reportedly Nobuhiro Watsuki’s ideal actor to portray Kenshin. Shooting will begin next month for a tentative international release. The film is expected to launch a live-action film franchise. Warner Brothers Pictures Japan will distribute the picture.
