Live Action ParaKiss Movie in Development

Twentieth Century Fox motion picture studio subsidiary Fox International is presently setting up a Japanese “production consortium” to supervise the production and marketing of a live action film based on Ai Yazawa’s best selling Paradise Kiss manga. Fox will finance the $3 million-$4 million Japanese-language film with Inter Media Japan handling production.

Tokyopop began publishing the Paradise Kiss manga in North America in 2001. FUNimation presently distributes the Madhouse produced 12 episode anime television series adaptation from 2005.
