Digimon - Disney thinks about a live action?
Disney therefore having seen the success of Detective Pikachu and the possibility of exploiting the franchise on its streaming platform Disney + would be considering the possibility of developing a live action. This is obviously a rumor and therefore as such should be taken with due reservations.
We remember that a few weeks ago the serious animated reboot Digimon Adventures started, which is presenting Digimon and Digiprescelti in a new graphic guise. The series is also set in an alternative 2020 by narrating the adventures of Taichi Yagami, in the fifth year of elementary school, and his Digimon named Agumon.
A re-launch of the card game is also planned with the anime series collectibles.
Here is the trailer:
Digimon Adventure is produced by Toei Animation and airs on Fuji TV every Sunday at 9 am starting from April 5.
This a brief synopsis of the first episode:
A large-scale digital network malfunction occurs in Tokyo. Taichi is gearing up for his summer camping weekend when an accident happens. Taichi's mother and little sister Hikari get stuck in a train that never stops, and the boy heads to Shibuya to try to help them. However, as he heads to the scene, he encounters a strange phenomenon that suddenly catapults him into a digital world along with other digiprescelti.
The direction is by Masato Mitsuka, the screenplay by Atsuhiro Tomioka while the character design is by Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru. Akihiro Asanuma, Ryouka Kinoshita and Toshiki Amada are the animation team. Matsuki Hanae, Naoko Sagawa and Hiroyuki Sakurada are the producers instead.
The first animated series historical of Digimon Adventure aired in 1999; the sequel titled Digimon Adventure 02, was broadcast from 2000 to 2001.
