Anime that conquered Japan and the rest of the world in 2011, Tiger & Bunny will appear in new guises! Because it is a live-action film adaptation that is planned, and in Hollywood please! And it was Ellen Shanman who was chosen to adapt Tiger & Bunny into a film.
Tiger & Bunny (タイガー&バニー) is a franchise that made a hit in Japan. And that swept over the whole world. Tiger & Bunny is a 25-episode anime, produced in 2011 by Sunrise studios and broadcast on Tokyo MX and MBS. In September 2011, manga entered the publishers' market (Kadokawa Shôten in Japan, Kazé in France). Since then, the success of Tiger & Bunny is well established. Two animated films followed respectively in 2012 and 2014 with the names Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning and Tiger & Bunny: The Rising. Not to mention artbooks, a tribute book, the two Namco Bandai Games video games and the LIVE performance that occurred in 2012 in Tokyo.
But now, since 2014, the news is calmer on the side of Tiger & Bunny. And behind the success, the critics were mixed with the hindsight. But let's not forget that in 2015, the announcement of a LIVE film directed by the Americans was official! And today, it is the name of the screenwriter that has fallen. Screenwriter who will be none other than Ellen Shanman!
Is this name unknown to you? Ellen Shanman is the screenwriter of "Everything Nice". She also adapted for the cinema the titles "Liv" or "The Brokenhearted", produced by New Line studios and in which Charlize Theron plays.
The news is still scary about this new Hollywood adaptation but we will keep you informed. Let's just hope that Tiger & Bunny will be better than other American adaptations…
