As we approach in the last story arc of the manga, American film studio Warner Brothers had finally acquired rights to produce the aforementioned live action film adaptation of the supernatural manga and anime, BLEACH.

Warner Bros. assigned Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans remake) to write a script. Peter Segal (Get Smart remake, The Longest Yard, Anger Management) is attached as a producer and director. Michael Ewing, actor Masi Oka (Heroes, Get Smart), and Jason Hoffs (The Terminal) at Viz Productions, with Branon Coluccio as the executive producer.

According to Variety website, Segal commented, "I've always been a huge fan of Bleach and have great respect for its creator Kubo-sensei and the truly original and amazing world he has created in this manga."

Bleach is about a story of a young man named Kurosaki Ichigo, who has the ability to see ghosts and spirits. He later met Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami (Soul Reaper), who escorts dead people to Soul Society. But an unprecedented event happened. During a Hollow attack, Rukia accidentally passes all her powers to Ichigo. Thus making him a substitute Shinigami.
