Reply to comment by _angryguy_ in Junji Ito’s Horror Manga ‘Bloodsucking Darkness’ Getting Live-Action Adaptation (EXCLUSIVE) by Old_Faithlessness588

I'm seeing it's being produced by Fangoria Studios, who I doubt have massive resources for big budget demands that could come from other works from Junji Ito. Still, I'm precarious because Ito's work has yet to translate well to TV and film. His horror comes from the massive disgusting detail oozing from every horrific page turn and it's damn hard to replicate that outside of manga.

If I had to have someone adapt Itou’s work, it would be 80s Cronenberg. The two were made for one another, shame that the timeline didn’t cooperate.

Fangoria generally does good stuff, so I'm cautiously optimistic
