‘Your Name’: Makoto Shinkai’s Masterpiece Can Get a Decent Live-Action Movie by Spider-Man Director Who Gave Us the Best Visuals
If you like anime, you likely groan at anyone who utters the phrase ‘live-action adaptation.’ Completely understandable, as the track record hasn’t been stellar. But here’s the thing: Your Name, Makoto Shinkai’s gorgeous, heartbreaking, time-twisting, body-swapping masterpiece, is getting Hollywood-ized, and there’s a slim chance, perhaps, that it might not be awful.
Why? Because the team behind it isn’t your usual corporate cash-grab squad. Directing the project is Marc Webb, and Eric Heisserer is penning the script.
Marc Webb: Not just that Spider-Man guy
Okay, yes, he directed The Amazing Spider-Man movies, but before all that superhero web-slinging, Marc Webb also gave us (500) Days of Summer. This is the guidebook for emotional pain in those indie romantic movies. He totally knows how to show us two people actually connecting (or missing out on each other), which is just ideal for a story like Your Name.
