Warner Bros and Tom Cruise to Adapt Another Manga Yukikaze

ANN reports that Wrath of the Titans writer Dan Mazeau has been tapped to pen an adaptation of the series YUKIKAZE. The film will be released by Warner Bros. and will reportedly star Tom Cruise.

(From ANN) "the elite Special Air Force wages a secret war against aliens that unsuccessfully invaded Earth through a dimensional portal over Antarctica 33 years ago. Second Lieutenant Rei Fukai flies lonely yet danger-fraught reconnaissance missions over the aliens' home planet with his wingmate, the sentient Sylphid fighter.

Kambayashi wrote the original Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze novel in 1984 and Good Luck Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze in 1999. Kanbayashi revised part of his original novel to flow better with its followup, and Hayakawa Publishing released the revised version under the name Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze Kai in 2002. The attendees of the Japan Science Fiction Convention gave Seiun Awards to both novels. Hayakawa published a third novel, Unbroken Arrow: Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze, in 2009."

So think TOP GUN minus Val Kilmer and that volleyball scene mixed with War of the Worlds and Cruise's new movie Edge of Tomorrow.
