It was just last week that we posted about Legendary Pictures’ renewed interest in a live-action Pokémon film following the massive success of Pokémon Go.
Well, they officially made a deal for the rights with The Pokémon Company, and the two companies announced that they’re planning to launch the first live-action Pokémon film, which will be based on Detective Pikachu.
Universal Pictures will distribute the movie outside of Japan, while Toho handles distribution within.
