Shueisha Downplays Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Film Report
posted on by Egan Loo
The Japanese publisher JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga has live-action and anime film adaptations in the works. The publisher said, "We don't know where that story came from, but nothing has been decided at this time."
A movie distributor source told the Cinema Today website, "We often get questions about movie adaptations of Jojo's from the press, but we've heard nothing."
Weekly Bunshun reported on Thursday that live-action and anime film adaptations were in the works by separate film companies. However, no other source has corroborated Weekly Bunshun's report.
Araki's manga has sold over 70 million copies so far. The manga already halted. At the time, online Islamic protesters objected to imagery in the anime that they deemed offensive.
