“I am greatly honoured to work with these incredible creators in bringing to audiences the Hollywood live action version of Your Name.”
Your Name, which is not only a very good movie but also the highest-grossing anime feature of all time, is being given the live-action treatment by J.J. Abrams’ Hollywood studio.
Given Hollywood’s recent track record in handling Japanese film, fans would be forgiven for being less enthusiastic.
Eric Heisserer (Arrival) is writing, while the original film’s distributors Toho will also be helping out (and releasing the movie in Japan).
