The Japanese entertainment website Eiga.com reported on Thursday that Osamu Tezuka’s classic Black Jack manga is inspiring a Chinese live-action adaptation.
Following the success of anime films in Chinese movie theaters in recent years, Beijing Enlight Pictures stated it plans to produce 10 live-action titles based on manga in the next five years, including Black Jack.
Endowed with excellent surgical technique, Black Jack always miraculously saves seriously ill patients and those on the verge of death.
Black Jack lives quietly in a clinic out in the deserted wilderness with his assistant, Pinoko, whose life he had saved.
