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.

Begin the Blood War by watching the official Season 2 trailer below.
In the upcoming second season, “Reginald Andres finally got his life together – when he was turned into a vampire. While he doesn’t fit into the stereotypical expectations of what a vampire looks like – he’s not chiseled or classically handsome – Reginald has found his place amongst an unlikely cohort that includes the cool vampire who sired him, the former vampire chieftain turned unexpected ally (or is she?), and his co-worker/former girlfriend.”
Jacob Batalon (Spider-Man: No Way Home), Em Haine (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Mandela Van Peebles (“Mayor of Kingstown”), and Savannah Basley (“SurrealEstate”) star.
“Reginald the Vampire” is produced by Great Pacific Media Inc., Modern Story Company, December Films and Cineflix Studios and executive produced by Harley Peyton, Jeremiah Chechik, Todd Berger, Lindsay Macadam, Brett Burlock and Peter Emerson.
“Reginald the Vampire” is based on the book series by Johnny B. Truant. Harley Peyton (“Chucky”) is the executive producer/showrunner of the SYFY television series.
