Peter Segal is in line to produce, and likely will direct the project. That in and of itself should stomp a mudhole in the hopes of anybody who thinks this might turn out well. I have no experience with Bleach at all, but Segal's filmography is appallingly bad. Not only did he direct the only laugh-free Naked Gun film(Naked Gun 33 1/3
), but The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps
, Anger Management
, 50 First Dates
, and The Longest Yard
all count as pockmarks on his resume. I didn't mind Get Smart too much, but that had more to do with Steve Carell's comedic timing than anything else. You can read more of Heatvision's coverage of this story here.
