Alexandre Aja Directing Adaptation of Junji Ito’s ‘Tomie’ for Quibi!
Fresh off directing this year’s Crawl, Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes) has set up his next project: an adaptation of Tomie, the manga series from Junji Ito!
Aja will both direct and executive produce the series for the Quibi platform.
Based on the cult hit manga, Tomie is the story of what happens when a beautiful high school girl goes missing and pieces of her body are discovered scattered around a small town. But what starts out as a murder mystery turns into something even more horrific.
The project hails from Sony Pictures Television and Universal Content Productions.
David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (The Conjuring 2, Aquaman) is writing and executive producing, with Hiroki Shirota on board as co-producer.
First published in 1987, Junji Ito’s Tomie has been adaptated in Japan in the form of both a live-action film series and an anthology TV series that was also edited into a film.
Quibi is a mobile-first media technology platform bringing together the best of Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Headquartered in Los Angeles, Quibi is the first entertainment platform built for easy, on-the-go mobile viewing, allowing today’s leading studios and creative talent to tell original stories in an entirely new way.

Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
