Hunter × Hunter
Before the first anime television series was created, a short film adaptation of "Hunter × Hunter" was shown as part of the 1998 "Jump Super Anime Tour" alongside similar adaptations of "Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!" and "One Piece". Produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Noriyuki Abe, it depicts the early events of the manga up to Gon's ocean voyage from Whale Island.
Monster (manga)
New Line Cinema acquired the rights for an American live-action film adaptation of "Monster". Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Josh Olson ("A History of Violence") was hired to write the screenplay. Although the studio initially announced a 2009 release, the project apparently fell into production limbo.
