Bandai Namco Pictures announced on Tuesday that Global Road Entertainment and Weed Road Pictures are new partners in the proposed live-action Hollywood film adaptation of Sunrise’s Tiger & Bunny anime.
The 2011 anime series spawned already two anime movies: Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning in 2012 and Tiger & Bunny The Movie -The Rising- in 2014.
Donald Tang founded Global Road Entertainment in 2017 as the consolidation of IM Global and Open Road Films under his Tang Media Partners company.
The original Tiger & Bunny television anime series centers around heroes for hire — super powered beings known as NEXT who wear sponsor logos while fighting crime on live television.
