J.J. Abrams將製作(是否導演尚未公布)你的名字真人版電影，片子由派拉蒙發行
Eric Heisserer (Arrival)將負責改編電影
由兩個科幻底的編導來負責，應該可以期待
不過原著滿滿的日本傳統文化，要怎麼西化，應該會是很大的難題。
'Arrival' scribe Eric Heisserer will write the script for the live-action
adaptation of the hit anime from Japan.
Paramount and J.J. Abrams are teaming to adapt Your Name, an anime film that
is one of the biggest hits of all time in Japan.
Eric Heisserer, who was nominated for an Oscar for penning the script to the
Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi drama Arrival, is on board to write the
screenplay for the adaptation, which will be live-action.
Abrams will produce via his Bad Robot Productions along with the banner’s
Lindsey Weber. Also producing is Genki Kawamura, the producer of the original
2016 film.
Your Name, a sci-fi infused love story, centered on a teenage boy and girl
from different parts of Japan who discover they can swap bodies. They also
discover they are separated by time as well as by space, and when an
impending space disaster threatens one of their towns, they must find a way
to meet and stop it from happening.
Makoto Shinkai wrote and directed the original pic, which became the
fourth-highest grossing film of all time in Japan and the highest-grossing
anime film at the worldwide box office, earning $355 million. It was also
nominated for best animated movie of the year at the 40th Japan Academy
Prize.
"Your Name is a film created with the innate imaginations of a Japanese team
and put together in a domestic medium,” Shinkai said Wednesday in a
statement. “When such a work is imbued with Hollywood filmmaking, we may see
new possibilities that we had been completely unaware of. I am looking
forward to the live-action film with excited anticipation.”
Paramount and Bad Robot will work with Toho Co., which produced the original,
on the development of the new project. Toho will handle distribution of the
film in Japan.
The original Your Name was executive produced by Minami Ichikawa, Keiji Ota
and Yoshihiro Furusawa via Toho and Noritaka Kawaguchi via CoMix Wave Films.
