OTOMO GOES LIVE

Anime legend Katsuhiro Otomo, director of AKIRA and STEAMBOY, has announced that his next project will be a live action sci fi film based on the anime, MUSHISHI (aka MUSHISHI MASTER). Based on a manga by Yuki Urushibara, the story is set in turn-of-the-century Japan about a guy who can see invisible life forms called Mushishi which give humans a hard time. And guess what? It's a horror manga! Yay, more horror! Hopefulyy Otomo will bring something new to the table, like he did in his last live-action movie, 1991's WORLD APARTMENT HORROR.
