LW Entertainment has engaged Justin Leach of Qubic Pictures, Co-Executive Producer on Star Wars: Visions and Showrunner of Netflix’s Eden and Leviathan, to explore opportunities for a new The Phantom of the Opera anime. Qubic Pictures, an animation production company, works with leading creators and studios across Japan, North America and Europe.
Justin Leach, Founder, Qubic Pictures, said:
“I’m incredibly excited to join forces with the talented team at LW Entertainment to bring The Phantom of the Opera to life through anime. This project is a rare opportunity to unite the grandeur of musical theatre with the artistry of Japanese animation - two beloved traditions that have touched audiences around the world. Our goal is to create a timeless and emotionally resonant experience that speaks to a global audience and honors the legacy of this iconic story.“
This partnership is part of a series of new film and TV explorations around The Phantom of the Opera and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s other titles. Previously announced development of a new Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat film, directed by Jon M. Chu, continues.
