Ron Howard to produce big screen adaptation of Tiger & Bunny anime

May 13, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Fresh from his trip to the galaxy far, far away on Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ron Howard is set to produce a live-action feature adaptation of the hit Japanese anime series Tiger & Bunny, Deadline has revealed.

Global Road Entertainment, Bandai Namco Pictures, Imagine Entertainment and Weed Road Pictures are taming up for the movie, which has been penned by Ellen Shanman and sees Howard producing alongside Brian Grazer, Erica Huggins, Masayuki Okazi and Akiva Goldsman.

Tiger & Bunny “takes place in a near-futuristic city called Stern Bild, where professional superheroes fight crime and save lives on a popular TV show. Old school veteran Tiger, who is challenged by younger and more dashing rival Bunny, must team up when a super-powered terrorist begins reeking international havoc.”

“After a long voyage, we have finally reached new ground,” said Bandai Namco Pictures’ Ozaki. “We are truly honored to be able to create the future with our collaborative partner whom we wholeheartedly trust. We are determined to live up to our supporters’ and fans’ expectations and bring this exciting project to life.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Imagine, Bandai Namco and Weed Road on Tiger & Bunny,” added Lynn Harris of Global Road Entertainment. “Mr. Ozaki and his team’s globally recognized story and beloved characters provide us with the potential to not only produce a feature film that will appeal to the masses, but also generate a fully developed franchise across the theatrical, television and digital entertainment spaces.”

“Ron, Brian and I are excited to be partnering with Global Road Entertainment and continuing our relationship with Lynn Harris and Rob Friedman to bring the live action feature film based on the beloved series Tiger & Bunny to fans and audiences around the world,” stated Imagine’s Huggins.

Tiger & Bunny launched in 2011 as both a manga and anime series, and also spawned two anime features Tiger & Bunny: The Beginning and Tiger & Bunny: The Rising.
