Gantz is one of the most famous manga of the 2000s, with a long series on Young Jump by Hiroya Oku. Sales have been great and it also received an anime, while there has been a lot of talk about the live-action film produced by Sony in recent years. At exactly this point there was an innovation thanks to a sentence from the Mangaka Oku.
Recently there was an update shared by the Crunchyroll site that hosted an interview with Hiroya Oku. the Mangaka mainly spoke of Gantz and his work on this work, which also examines part of its future. However, one of the questions was about Gantz’s Hollywood transposition, which completed some scenarios.
“Yes, I can’t speak openly about the details of the project, however a Hollywood company currently has the rights to Gantz. to adapt, and if they don’t return the rights, we won’t be able to produce an anime or a live-action adaptation of the manga. This is the type of Hollywood contract; they get all exclusive rights, including anime and live action, with the exception of the manga “.
Oku’s explanation therefore shows his willingness, Shueisha and some Japanese animation studios to continue the story of Gantz in an anime version, but the The contract signed with Hollywood blocks the whole situation. Unfortunately, Oku does not fail to describe the situation as a “problem”.
Gantz-E, a spin-off set in the Edo period, is currently underway, while the mangaka Oku is close to completing Gigant.
