Did you like Your Name? Well, you’re going to want to sit down for this. You know, if you’re not already sitting down.
J.J. Abrams’ production company Bad Robot, along with Paramount Pictures, won the rights to create a live-action adaptation of the film. The film which literally came out last year to wild success and critical acclaim. I don’t get it. And I doubt you do either.
