The
Japanese film studio Kadokawa Pictures lists a film adaptation of Yuji
Iwahara's King of Thorn science-fiction action manga for a 2010 release
in Japan. The story follows Kasumi, a girl who was infected by a
pandemic virus along with her twin sister Shizuku. Kasumi — but not
Shizuku — was chosen to be among 159 other people who were placed into
cryogenic suspension until a cure is found. The 160 wake up in the dark
future populated by monsters, and Shizuku must survive while she
searches for clues on what happened to the world and her sister.

Kazuyoshi
Katayama (Appleseed video, The Big O, Doomed Megalopolis) will direct
off a script co-written by himself and Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Bastard!!,
Blue Submarine No. 6, Yukikaze). Hidenori Matsubara (Ah! My Goddess!,
Sakura Wars, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo) will design the
characters, while Kenji Andou (Brigadoon, Karas, Origin ~Spirits of the
Past~) will design the monsters.
