Fans of Anime films will be thrilled to learn that Warner Bros. has announced their intentions to bring a live-action Ninja Scroll movie to life with Alex Tse — who also wrote Watchmen — taking the writing duties. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way is producing the film.

Yoshiaki Kawajiri‘s Ninja Scroll follows a ninja who saves a girl from captivity from a giant man with rock-hard skin who took the girl after killing the group of ninja she was with while they were investigating a strange plague. After these events, the ninja and the girl embark on a journey that includes fighting demons, crisis and the previously mentioned plague.
