Australia’s Arclight Films, Canada’s Wizzfilms, Infotainment China Media Company, Singapore’s Axxis International, and the United Kingdom’s Latec International have acquired the rights to produce a live action Bubblegum Crisis movie from Japan’s AIC studio. Principle photography will take place in Australia with “two male leads and a quartet of female action babes \u00e2\u20ac\u201d two Caucasian and two Asian.” Post production will be done in Canada by Wizzfilms affiliated company Mokko Studio. Axxis International reports that 70% of the film’s anticipated $30 million production budget has already been secured. The production is now beginning its search for a director and cast. The movie is tentatively planned for an early 2012 worldwide release.<\/p>\n
It’s unclear how this new announcement relates to Singapore’s Cubix International, which acquired the rights to produce a live action Bubblegum Crisis movie last fall but is not associated with this freshly announced production.<\/p>\n
