According to ICv2, Warner Bros. Pictures is in the process of acquiring the rights to make a live action Bleach movie. The news via the Hollywood Reporter indicates that Peter Segal is the one that’s working through the negotiations to produce the show along with Viz Media via his Callahan Filmworks production company.

Warner is being aggressive with some anime/manga acquisitions with Akira in the works via Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company. Rival studios Fox and DreamWorks are producing live action adaptations as well of anime properties with Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell respectively.
