Later in life, Nunoe wrote an autobiography of herself and her husband titeld Gegege no Nyoubou (Wife of Gegege), which Tokyograph now reports is being made into a live-action drama that will air on the NHK in March 2010.
A theatrical film based on the book is also in the works, and will be directed by Takuji Suzuki, a writer/actor/director himself and the director of a 1999 film called One Piece!. No, not THAT One Piece-- it was a collection of 14 5-minute short films from various directors working with no budget who shot the films using only one fixed camera shot-- no panning, no cuts, nothing. Pretty interesting, hm?
Neither project has had a cast announcement yet. More interestingly I'm surprised that there hasn't been any comment by Shigeru Mizuki himself-- he's not dead, y'know. In fact, he celebrated his 87th birthday this March.
