Warner Brothers wants the rights to bleach;

The Hollywood Reporter newspaper’s Heat Vision blog reports that the American film studio Warner Brothers “is in the process of securing the movie rights to” Tite Kubo’s Bleach supernatural action manga series.Director Peter Segal (Get Smart, The Longest Yard, Anger Management) is lining himself up to produce, but not direct. The manga’s North American publisher Viz Media and Segal’s Callahan Filmworks partner Michael Ewing would also produce the proposed project.

By all means though this doesn’t guarantee that a film will be made, just that Warner Brothers wants the rights to able to create the movie if they decided to. Warner Brothers already has the rights to Death Note, but no word yet on anything about if it’s going to be made or not.
