I read a horror manga a few months ago that I really liked. It was named "6000". It reminds me of something I've seen before but I can't recall exactly what. It's kind of a cross between Alien and The Shining.
There was a disaster at an undersea station that no one is willing to talk about. Long afterwards, the corporation that owns it sends down a new crew to get things operational again. That turns out to be a very bad idea.
Anyway, it seems it will be made into a movie in its own right.
Japanese Deep Sea Manga ‘6000’ Being Adapted as Movie
All Nippon Entertainment Works and “Black Swan” producer Mike Medavoy are partnering to adapt the deep sea thriller “6000” as a feature film.
The English-language film will be based on Nokuto Koike’s Japanese horror Manga series “6000: Rokusen” from Gentosha Comics, which is partnering on the project.
Edward McGurn and Ben Anderson are producing along with Medavoy. Tara Billik is overseeing the project for ANEW.
The film is set 6,000 meters below the ocean’s surface at a research facility where a mysterious disaster killed the crew and shuttered the station. When a new team is sent down to get the operation running again three years later, tension builds as they struggle against the claustrophobic environment, their own deteriorating minds and danger lurking in the depths.
“We were immediately drawn to the tension of ‘6000,’ and are looking forward to bringing this psychological thriller to the international movie audience,” Medavoy said.
Medavoy’s credits include “The Thin Red Line,” “Zodiac,” “Shutter Island” and the upcoming Chilean mining drama “The 33,” to hit theaters on Nov. 13. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/japanese-6000-movie-mike-medavoy-1201544980/
