Maruyama also added that Yume-Miru Kikai (The Dreaming Machine), Kon’s unfinished film, will remain uncompleted and unreleased.
Anime producer Masao Maruyama reported at the Hiroshima International Animation Festival on Monday that a script is being written for an anime adaptation of Satoshi Kon’s OPUS manga.
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.
The OPUS manga ran from 1995 to 1996 before Kon made his directorial debut with Perfect Blue in 1997.
