FUNimation has announced that it is partnering with BioWare and Electronic Arts for a Dragon Age anime movie. FUNimation is one of the largest anime companies in America, responsible for the North American releases of Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and more. Here are more details from the press release:
Production of the Dragon Age anime movie is slated to begin this month with a home video release in 2011. Executive producing the film are BioWare’s Executive Producer Mark Darrah and Creative Director Mike Laidlaw, as well as FUNimation’s president and CEO Gen Fukunaga and Director of Original Entertainment Chris Moujaes.
As a huge Dragon Age mark, of course I’m excited for this. I’m happy that Darrah and Laidlaw are involved. I wonder if FUNimation will go with voice actors from the game or anime veterans. Any of you interested in this movie?
I would be down but I wanna hear the voices from the game.
Amine = Awesome!!!
Anime + Video Games = pure win. And they have a better track record than movies.
I don't want a rehash of what happens in the game or anything like that. If they really want to push DA as an universe, similar to how 343i handles Halo, then this would make an excellent opportunity to further that goal. New characters and news stories wold be awesome.
Also, I want the people behind Neon Genesis or Elfen Lied behind it. >_>
