Live Action Blood: The Last Vampire?

Animenation's news service passed along this in their e-mail newsletter:

According to Ain't It Cool News, director Ronny Yu (Freddy vs. Jason) is now writing a script for a big budget American live action adaptation of the anime movie Blood: The Last Vampire.

I saw Freddy vs. Jason, mostly to have fun making fun of the movie. Ronny Yu's other major American work is Bride of Chucky. Everything else is apparently Asian horror/action cinema. I swear I've heard or seen Once Upon a Time a Hero in China II somewhere...though I may be confusing it with Once Upon a Time in China II, which I have seen and did like.

Why this guy? Blood is a dark story; it doesn't seem fitting to have someone with this kind of body of work directing it. I've seen most of Bride of Chucky and it was terrible. I've also read the Blood: The Last Vampire graphic novel and it's way dark. Super dark. Makes the movie look tame.

No, I haven't seen anything else by Mr. Yu, but someone like Alex Proyas would be much better.

blood was partly so amazing because it didn't star the gore, guess what's going to change if this is right? gah! i've was waiting forever to see blood, hoping it was worth it, and it was. will this remake be worth it and stand out like the original? i hope so, but it better not be by dark castle...
ta's!
