SP International Pictures announced it will remake one of several classic Japanese films based on the beloved manga epic, Lone Wolf and Cub.
Many fans and activists alike, it should be noted, are none too pleased with the direction that production is going – as SP International has cast a white woman in the role of the anime’s Asian protagonist – but Paul insists that Lone Wolf and Cub will feature a “mostly” Japanese cast.
We’ll be sure to follow up if the crew decides to cast Matt Damon or something as protagonist Ogami Itto.
SP International, headed by producer Steven Paul, is the same production house responsible for the upcoming Ghost in the Shell live action adaptation.
