What good news for manga fans… Yes, it's not a dream, ADN has just confirmed that the anime Dreamland by French Reno Lemaire is coming very soon. And that's not all, after the manga, the anime and the video game, a live-action of the famous manga One Punch Man has also just been announced by Sony.
The new teaser of the anime Dreamland is scheduled for June 20
For those who do not know, Dreamland is a French manga started in 2006. He now presents 20 bound volumes at Pika. His plot revolves around Terrence a shy young high school student who wants to seduce Lydia, the girl he has always loved. One night, his life turns into a nightmare as he overcomes his greatest fear… Fire. From that moment on, he leads a double life: an ordinary high school student by day and "fire controller" by night in Dreamland, the world of dreams. Reno Lemaire, author of this French manga, has never hidden his desire to find an animation studio that would take up the challenge of adapting this original work without much hope either. Indeed, as the story takes place partly in France, in Montpellier, he did not think that the animation studios would project themselves there. However, a few days ago, the DNA platform posted this tweet and confirmed the arrival of Dreamland on the platform. https://twitter.com/ADNanime/status/1536755354662408192?s=20&t=Z7xyBQvA2Zdh-Mlw5_YpAQ That said, no release date has been announced yet. All we know is that it's produced by ADN and that the full teaser comes out on June 20th… We can also expect a faithful adaptation, since Reno Lemaire had already spoken about censorship, saying that he would refuse adaptation if it was a question of removing elements. After Radiant, it is now Dreamland's turn to take this important step!
One Punch Man arrives in theaters with the preparation of a new live-action
We do not present it anymore, One Punch Man is a superhero anime based on the eponymous manga. It combines action, comedy and satire. The concept seems ingeniously simple. The hero, Saitama, is so strong that he can defeat any opponent with a single punch. Unfortunately, he is a little frustrated, because there is no one left to challenge him. It is not difficult to appropriate the existential crisis highlighted in One Punch Man.The anime excels because it is both absurd and delights in destroying tropes with every fist. Reversing the expectations of the shonen nekketsu, we come to hope that Saitama can finally find someone to defeat him, and in this act, find salvation from the boredom that threatens to crush his existence (and therefore ours). So, a live-action of One Punch Man arrives, and it is none other than Justin Lin, the director of the famous Fast and Furious, who has been designated to direct the film. The writers will be Scott Rosenberg & Jeff Pinkner (Venom, Jumanji: The Next Level), while Avi and Ari Arad (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Ghost in the Shell) will produce alongside Justin Lin. So expect spectacular effects and a rather interesting rendering. That said, production is scheduled to start at the end of this year, so don't expect to see any images circulating for some time! For now, there are still no details about the casting – and especially about the actor who will play Saitama, the self-taught hero who knocks out enemies with a simple punch. It's also too early to know what parts of the original script the film will cover. However, we can imagine that the film will cover the entire first season, ending with the Battle of Saitama with Lord Boros. Anyway, we can't wait to know more about this new format of One Punch Man. We are also looking forward to watching the first full teaser of Dreamland, which will be unveiled on June 20, 2022.
