Some of you might have seen the recent anime adaptation of Junji Ito's UZUMAKI. And while it left many people wondering "what if" by the second episode, it also left me wondering "what if" the manga was adapted into a live action series. Yes, I know there was a live action movie adaptation back in the day, but it felt extremely rushed trying to fit into a feature film runtime.
Now normally I think manga or anime to live action adaptations are less than desirable, but there's something about UZUMAKI that I feel translates to live action when given the proper time and care...
Of course you would need a huge studio with deep pockets to bring the vision to life (if Netflix and A24 had a baby), but maybe in the not so distant future we'll be able to make the adaptation ourselves. Here is my rendition of a live action version of UZUMAKI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CJ93...
