In the Japanese film industry, many best-selling comics are adapted into live-action movies and brought to the big screen every year. In the past 2014, the two comics "The Road of Blood" and "Parasite" serialized in the 1980s have once again attracted attention from the big screen. This year, which original comics have been adapted into live-action movies that have come into the eyes of everyone?
First of all, the highly anticipated " Attack on Giant " must be one of them. Since the release of the adaptation of a live-action movie in October 2011, it has been three and a half years since the release of the adaptation of a live-action movie. "Attack on Titans" will finally meet the audience in August this year. In addition to the highlight of the horror of giants that prey on humans in the movie, the appearance of the original characters in the movie is also quite exciting.
In addition, the "Parasite Beast Finale" released in April this year has also attracted enough attention. The monster-like duel between parasites presented through digital technology should feast the fans who are looking forward to it.
In addition, the " Haijie Diary " by Yuka Koreedo is also a work that must be mentioned. Needless to say, the luxurious sister group that gathers Ayase Haruka, Nagasawa Masami, Nagasawa and Hirose Suzu, is a popular group of four seasons. Like the original manga, the four seasons of Kamakura presented in the movie has become a very noteworthy point. I believe that many fans of the original work are looking forward to seeing the wonderful scenery from the movie directed by Yuka Koreedo.
Of course, the adaptation of the boy comic is also quite interesting - the popular comics " Assassination Classroom " and " Dream Eater " born from "Weekly Boy JUMP" were adapted into live-action movies to meet the audience this year. The already released "Assassination Classroom" has decided to make a sequel.
In the past 2014, "Rangke Jianxin Kyoto Hot Chapter/The Ending of Legends" achieved both box office and reputation, and was a well-deserved model in comic-revised movies. So this year, which comic-adapted movie can stand out and become the benchmark representing 2015?
