Tim Burton Reacquires Mai Rights

Mai volume 1

Latino Review reports that director Tim Burton has reacquired the film adaptation rights to Kazuya Kudo and Ryoichi Ikegami’s 1985 adventure manga Mai the Psychic Girl (known in Japan as just “Mai”). Burton began development of live action film adaptation in the late 1980s, but the production never reached fruition. Reportedly Sony Pictures acquired the film production rights 8 years ago and just recently transferred the rights back to Burton, who has made producing and directing the film a priority.
