"Your name." New Haicheng, a live-action movie that will be remade by Hollywood, looks forward to "Japan + America"

Paramount and J.J. The bad robot company in Abrams got your name. The right to adapt will work with Japan's Dongbao Co., Ltd. to turn one of the highest-grossing films in Japanese film history into an American live-action film.

original title: Hollywood is going to shoot a live-action version of "your name." J.J., "escort"

looking forward to science fiction director J.J. The love animations of Abrams and Xin Haicheng unexpectedly overlap.

Paramount subsequently confirmed the news on Weibo. J.J. Abrams, another experienced producer of Bad Robots, Lindsay Webber ("Clover 10" and "Star Trek: beyond the Stars"), as well as animated producer Yuki Kawamura, acted as an American producer.

" your name. "it is a phenomenal animation created by Xin Haicheng. The film, which is ostensibly about love in science fiction, revolves around young men and women: men and women find that they can exchange identities with each other and live another person's life, but then realize that they are separated by distant time and space. and a disaster is threatening one of them's hometown, and the two must find ways to prevent it.

the animation was a box office success when it was released in 2016, ranking fourth in Japanese film history. Its global box office of $355 million also makes it the highest-grossing Japanese animation abroad. It was also recognized by the academic community and was nominated for best animation at the 40th Japan Film Academy Awards.

Xin Haicheng expressed his expectation for live-action movies in a statement: "your name. "it is a film that is based on the original imagination of the Japanese team and is integrated into domestic channels. When such work is combined with Hollywood production, we may see new possibilities that we have never been aware of before. I'm really looking forward to live-action movies. "

in the field of IP adaptation, J.J has always been an insurance choice. He directed the Star Trek movie version and the first installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Although its style and understanding of the original have disappointed many original films, it is undeniable that these films have achieved great box office success. That's why when Star Wars: the Force Awakens is widely questioned about copying New Hope, Lucasfilm is still happy to hire him to make Star Wars 9-he may not be the ideal candidate for fans. but it's sure to generate huge revenue for studios. Although he is not sure to direct the live-action version, the name is the equivalent of a box office guarantee.

however, the adaptation of Japanese works in the United States is easy to be dissatisfied. In addition to a small number of high-quality works such as "the Edge of tomorrow", the recent "Shell attack Mobile team" and "death Note" have been criticized by viewers and commentators. From racially controversial casting to the "Americanization" of plot characters, the American version rarely removes the widespread sense of disobedience and can easily distort the core of the story into the same theme of Hollywood.

the good news is that the screenplay will be written by Eric Heisel, the screenwriter of "coming." The original work of "coming" is the Story of your Life by science fiction writer Ted Jiang, which is recognized as extremely difficult to adapt. But Hessel succeeded in silverizing it and was nominated for an Academy Award. Maybe people should have more confidence in the live-action version.
