A Hollywood adaptation of stylish shooting things anime Gungrave has been announced, to be undertaken by Convergence Entertainment, also responsible for King of Fighters…
Yasuhiro Nightow’s epic gun series Gungrave, will start production next year, with a modest budget of some $30 to $35 million, financed through “strategic partners in Asia”. To help them with the adaptation, they have also hired Red Entertainment’s Yasuaki Nagoshi to produce the movie.
Gungrave is well known through the anime adaptation of the original PS2 shooting game; the title is known for combining a variety of themes, from gangster action to sci-fi shooting.

Although Gungrave might seem promising Hollywood fare, this is the same company responsible for the upcoming quality King of Fighters film adaptation…
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh?!WTF is this?!I rather see this project of theirs buried in the grave.
Guess what it’ll turn out to be; A generic revenge plot with a average-sized guy carrying a huge box and a generic female lead with fake boobs.
You hear it here first.
I wouldn’t know if the anime is any good because I couldn’t get past ep. 3. Was way to slow for me. I am not happy with the Hollywood, they have a bad habit of messing up even good anime and comics.
fail is imminent
If they’re adapting the anime then it’s alright. They’re basically turning a s♥♥t into another s♥♥t.
