After Alice in Wonderland, Burton is now planning another film project. This time, it's an adaptation of a Japanese manga titled "Mai," which once again centers around a little girl.
Tim Burton is planning a new project. True to the motto »what was already good on paper can't get worse on screen,« Burton is planning to adapt the manga "Mai." Burton had already planned an adaptation of this Japanese fantasy story in the 80s, but due to various projects, the start of production was repeatedly delayed.
At the heart of the story is 14-year-old Mai, who possesses supernatural abilities. Using these powers, she tries to stop the government from seizing world domination with the help of medication. However, the government alliance has already taken notice of the girl and is now doing everything in its power to stop her.
The director (currently working on "Alice in Wonderland") recently managed to regain the film rights from Sony Pictures. However, it is still unclear when the movie will hit theaters. Reports suggest Burton is currently working on the screenplay.
