According to Variety, Warner Bros. is moving ahead with Yukikaze, which will star Tom Cruise as a pilot of an advanced aircraft who squares off against an alien force. Yukikaze is based on Chohei Kambayashi’s popular science fiction novel of the same name, as well as an anime series produced by Gonzo and Bandai Visual.
The Top Gun/Star Wars-style sci-fi action flick is being produced by Jon Berg, Erwin Stoff and Tom Lassally (all whom are also producing Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow, also based on a Japanese novel) with a script written by Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the Titans). There is currently no director attached.
Stay tuned for more developments.
