‘Ninja Scroll’ to make big-screen transition
Alex Tse is set to write the adaptation of the Japanese action anime “Ninja Scroll” for Warner Bros. 
Variety says Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way is co-producing the project, which centers on a ninja who faces eight demonic warriors to save Japan.
The trade says the anime movie was released in 1993 and became nearly as famous outside of Japan than films such as “Akira” and “Ghost in the Shell.”
Tse most recently co-wrote Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Watchmen.” His credits also include the upcoming “Frankie Machine,” with Michael Mann attached to direct.
Final word: Sounds great. Bring it on!

Threshold Entertainment had the rights to Ninja Scroll back in 2002 but nothing didn't barefoot so now Warner Bros is taking over the rights to the project and Leonardo
DiCaprio producing the film with his production company Appian Way and Alex tse will be writing the script for the film.
Ninja Scroll will have a cast of Asian actors and some producers will be some American and some Asian as well.
I'm sorry that things didn't work out for Larry Kasanoff who miss out the project but there will be some talks about the Ninja Scroll in the future.
Thank You.
