Anime producer Masao Maruyama teased at Japan Expo in Paris this past weekend that he wants to produce an anime adaptation of Satoshi Kon’s manga OPUS at his Studio M2.
Madhouse announced later that year that it had resumed production on Kon’s final film Yume-Miru Kikai (The Dreaming Machine) but the project remains unfinished.
OPUS serialized from 1995 to 1996 before Kon made his directorial debut with Perfect Blue in 1997.
Kon (Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent, Paprika) passed away in 2010.
