Dresden Pictures has acquired the UK rights to Japanese war story "Grave of the Fireflies" with plans to develop a live-action feature adaptation.
Akiyuki Nosaka's 1967 semi-autobiographical novel is set during and after the firebombing of Kobe, Japan in 1945. It follows the struggle of two orphaned Japanese children – 14 year-old Seita and his four year-old sister, Setsuko – during World War II.
The story is best known to worldwide audiences for Studio Ghibli's 1988 animated feature film adaptation helmed by Isao Takahata, an acclaimed movie that film critics and historians often cite as one of the most powerful and devastating anti-war films ever made. Japanese broadcaster Ntv produced a live action telemovie in 2005.
This however marks the first production company outside of Japan to have optioned development rights to the story. Liam Garvo and James Heath will produce and shooting aims to begin in 2014.

We began the latest hour of Fringe in the company of Nina Sharp, who enters the office of William Bell in hopes of learning more about his interest in the First People. Upon finding a copy of the book in a safe, she remarks, "You and your secrets."
If there's one specific Fringe character who encapsulates that observation, it's Nina herself. Over the course of the show, she has gradually morphed from an ambiguous and deceptive caretaker of what seemed to be an evil corporate entity into a definite, though guarded, force for good. And yet, why do I always expect to learn that she's taking orders from a shapeshifter, or Walternate, or an evil William Bell, whenever we see her alone, as we did in "Concentrate and Ask Again"?
But no, Nina still doesn't have any explicitly sinister motivations. We learned--as had always been hinted--that she and William had...

In some respects, tonight’s Fringe was a bit of a return to the case-of-the-week format, but the tie-in with a former Cortexiphan kid, and the ongoing relationship issues between Olivia and Peter, definitely prevented it from being completely stand-alone. That being said, one thing that I love about Fringe is that no episode is truly stands alone: there is always some thread that ties each episode to the larger tapestry. I did like tonight’s episode overall, as it brought us back to some interesting themes that were introduced in season 1, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.
The case was not the most outrageous that we’ve seen, although it certainly was weird to see people with no bones. The call-back to the drug company INtREPUS that was first introduced back in the S1 episode “The Cure”, and referenced in S2’s “Olivia. In the Lab. With...
