Yet it doesn’t seem that Oku actually is involved in a productionor that he doesn’t even know what happened with it. The contract didn’t tell me before he signed it off to make a live-action Hollywood film, but I didn’t know that it’s going forward, adds he on Twitter.Īverys involvement claims to be untrue in Japan.

In that report, Oku, who wrote on Twitter, said that was the first thing he heard about this. After he finished writing the horror movie Overlord, Avery has also directed the 2014 crime flick Son of a Gun and is currently working on the Samaritan book, which is made up of graphic novels in a single name. This spawned a movie, a video game, a live action Japanese film, and a CGI-style game.Īs for the previous time, Deadline reports that Avery will direct the adaptation however, it hasn’t been officially announced yet.

Okus Gantz appeared in 2000 and ran until 2013 in a Weekly Young Jump magazine. Did you hear anything? Because Hiroya Oku, the manga artist who created Gantz, didn’t exist. According to Deadline, Julius Avery was the head of the project. Hollywood is making the latest Gantz adaptation.
