FILM: Japanese comic film

Being a big fan of comic adaptations like Sin City and Batman Begins, I get even more psyched if the film is based on a super-obscure comic title. The more underground or foreign the text is the better, because it’s more likely that it’ll be original and less recycled. The latest comic-to-film adaptation that I’m hearing buzz about is the Japanese manga, sci-fi trilogy 20th Century Boys written by Naoki Urasawa. The comic is about a store manager who predicted the apocalypse when he was a teenager and now has to try his best to remember what happens before his prophecy comes true. It’s almost like if Nostradamus had amnesia. Can't wait to see who gets cast.
