Warner Bros. Developing Yu-Gi-Oh! Feature
Friday, August 1, 2003 1:16 CDT
While a feature film of Yu-Gi-Oh! has been listed at our parent site ComingSoon.net for a while now (for an August 13, 2004 release date), Warner Bros. is just now starting to talk about the movie. Here's the latest from Variety...
Warner Bros. is hoping to match the success of its "Pokemon" pics with a film based on its latest Japanese animated import, "Yu-Gi-Oh."
The "Yu-Gi-Oh" franchise is handled by "Pokemon" licensing agent 4Kids and is being produced by 4Kids Prods. president Norman Grossfeld. Warner Bros. is in negotiations to acquire worldwide distribution rights (excluding Asia) to the film, which is currently in production in Japan.
"Yu-Gi-Oh" has already spawned trading cards, toys and vidgames that are selling briskly on these shores, as well as a hit TV show for the Kids' WB Saturday kidtoon lineup.
Franchise is based on a Japanese comicbook about a boy who gains magical powers and transforms into Yu-Gi-Oh (roughly translated: Master of Games) when he plays a card game involving dueling monsters.
Stateside release of the pic is expected next summer, and Warner Bros. will be giving away collectible trading cards with movie tickets via a promotional tie-in.
Stay tuned for more on the project soon.
I never got into Yugioh, but in High School a bunch of guys in the game club played it, enougfh for the club to raise money through a tournament.
アイス~チーズ!
