New live action anime coming to hollywood. This time? Full metal panic...
relic2279:
And Zac Efron's name is surfacing with it... NOOOOO
--- Quote ---Mandalay Pictures has acquired theatrical rights to and will develop a big-screen version of "Full Metal Panic," a Japanese manga series that blends action, comedy and high school romance, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The property derives from writer Shoji Gatoh's series about a teenage anti-terrorist commando named Sousuke Sagara who is given the mission to protect a high-school girl with mystical powers.
"Panic," which is set in a world almost exclusively without adults, is known for mixing visceral action with wry comedy.
Zac Efron's name has surfaced in connection with "Panic," with the actor holding a conversation on the project, adds the trade. He's also potentially attached to the Warner Bros. adventure Jonny Quest.

God I wish they would just leave us alone. Then again, it takes some failures to learn how to do something right. Unless you're a horror movie maker. There is no right.
