Eiichiro Oda Working on Next One Piece Movie

Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine has revealed that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda is personally assisting in the development of the 10th One Piece theatrical film, One Piece: Strong World. Oda has composed the film’s original story and has already submitted 120 design drawings depicting his vision for the film, with more to come. Original manga creators rarely participate to such a extent in the development of anime based on their ideas. Shonen Jump reports that Oda wants this year’s film to be noticeably different from prior films in the franchise. The movie will be directed by Munehisa Sakai, one of the directors for the One Piece television series. The film is scheduled for Japanese theatrical opening on December 12.

The film’s official site includes links to two streaming trailers, but they’re seem to be either down or limited to Japanese IPs.
