Warner Brothers Japan announced earlier this year that Eiichiro Hasumi (Umizaru) will be directing a live action adaptation of Mikiya Mochizuki's police action classic manga Wild 7.

On Friday, Warner Bros. Japan announced that actor Eita will star in a live-action film adaptation of Mikiya Mochizuki’s police action manga Wild 7 which will be directed by Eiichiro Hasumi (Umizaru).
Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen King from 1969-1979, the manga revolved around a motorcycle-riding team of 7 reformed thugs and ex-cons brought together by the National Police Agency to combat dangerous armed criminals and terrorists.
