...and Heather Campbell are re-writing the script.

Justin Lin (from Fast & the Furious is directing):

Writer Heather Anne Campbell, known for her work on Rick and Morty and The Twilight Zone, announced Sunday that she is officially working on a rewrite of the One-Punch Man movie from Sony with Rick and Morty cocreator Dan Harmon. Campbell shared the news on X by way of an article about the movies director, Justin Lin.

Campbell linked to the article and tweeted, So I guess its official that Im working on the One Punch Man movie. Lets fkin goooooooooo.

The movie was first announced in 2020, with screenwriters Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner originally attached to script the film. Lin came on board two years later in 2022 as both a director and producer.

The manga series One-Punch Man was originally published as a web comic beginning in 2009, later republished in print in 2012. The collection now contains 26 volumes and is one of the best-selling mangas of all time.

Her fellow writer Dan Harmon has enjoyed a long career in writing comedy for both television and film, from Community and Rick and Morty to the animated film Monster House. Campbell is a popular comedic writer and performer, also known for regular appearances on Whose Line Is It Anyway and in live Los Angeles improv and sketch comedy.

The movie will join fellow recent anime and manga adaptations such as Netflixs live-action One Piece and Avatar: The Last Airbender series.

The animated One-Punch Man series is currently streaming on Hulu. The synopsis reads, Saitama is a guy whos a hero for fun. After saving a child from certain death he decided to become a hero, and trained hard for three years. Though hes now so strong he can defeat any opponent with a single punch, lately he feels as if, in exchange for overwhelming power, hes lost something even more important.

Live action western anime adaptations have a worse track record than live action video game movies at this point.

Most are done by people who don't know how to make good movies, adaptations or otherwise. Having someone who is talented is at least a good first step.

And the only way we will get more good adaptations is if more are made.

I have faith in Dan Harmon's track record which is more good than bad.

I am not that optimistic.

He has not worked on a single good movie. Rick and Morty isn't that good, but is that what you're basing your optimism on?

Same, saw the name + Rick and Morty and immediately cringed. I'm a fan of the IP but I'll definitely wait for reviews whenever this is released.
