Madhouse to Produce Tibetan Dog Movie

Madhouse has revealed plans to develop a feature film tentatively titled Tibetan Dog (Tibet Inu Monogatari). The film will be based on a popular Chinese coming-of-age novel about a city boy who finds himself living in rural Tibet. Masayuki Kojima (Monster, Piano Forest) will helm the adaptation. Shigeru Fujita (Monster) will handle animation character design based on conceptual character designs drawn by manga-ka Naoki Urasawa (Yawara, Monster). The film, which Kojima has promised will be a “creative milestone in international cultural exchange,” will tentatively premiere next year.

Madhouse certainly has been on a roll of producing eclectic productions lately.
