Tobey Macquire + Manga Artist awesomness =...

Spider-Man 3 star Tobey Maguire has been speaking to SCI FI Wire about his work on Isaac Adamson’s Tokyo Suckerpunch.

Maguire will star in and produce the project which is about a Cleveland manga writer who finds himself living out his character’s adventures in Tokyo. ‘It’s something I’m developing with Doug Wick and Lucy Fisher’s company [Red Wagon], and Ed Solomon’s [Charlie’s Angels] writing the screenplay right now,’ Maguire said during a news conference to promote Spider-Man 3.

In the original story, Billy Chaka is in Tokyo to cover the Under-19 Handicapped World Martial Arts Championship and meet with his friend Sato Migusho, the renowned director of cult film classics like Sex-Up the Hotrod, Baby!. wHEN Sato never shows, a woman stumbles into a dive bar with tattooed yakuza in hot pursuit. Then Chaka discovers that Sato has been murdered, and the strange and beautiful woman just may have been a witness. As the mystery deepens, Billy start brawls in swanky corporate sex clubs, is offered a golf membership by a secret religious order, meets a dog trained in the Way of the Samurai and races stolen motorcycles through the neon-choked streets of Tokyo.

It does sound quiet interesting, but not so sure till you've actually seen it. Anyways to me Tobey Maguire will always be the dude in tights that swings from buildings and enforces the law.

I don't know why, but it seems just so very fitting to hear you in particular imitate Jameson! Maybe it's the avatar?

Yeah that does look a bit like Jameson. I wonder if Abunai looked like his avatar in real life..

Looks like we're getting off topic. Let me steer this topic back to Tobey Mcguire.

(words that didn't steer right)

Fixed for relevance.

Anyhoo, Is this Live-Action or VA? if the latter, then okay, I kinda like the idea. But if Live Action....The guy went completely downhill after Spiderman 2. His actign ability went sour.
