It seems the next big Hollywood trend (now that they are running out of comic book heroes to adapt for the big screen) is to snap up rights to every cartoon that came out of Japan since 1960. This is no doubt due to the phenomenal success of ‘Transformers’ and the not-so-phenomenal success of ‘Speed Racer’. Already in the works are adaptations of ‘Astro Boy’, ‘Gatchaman’ and ‘Dragonball’, today we can add ‘Ninja Scroll’ to that list.

Ranking alongside "Akira" and "Ghost in the Shell" as one of the most popular animes outside of Japan, "Ninja" is set in feudal Japan and follows a ninja who must fight eight demonic warriors in order to save Japan. The hard-r movie, released in 1993 in Japan, featured a villain with stone skin, a hunchback with a wasp nest as his hump and a woman whose snake tattoos come to life.
