If they want to make easy money (they do), bringing back a popular series on the big screen is the best way to do it. It already started becoming a trend those past couple years, and I think it's going to explode after what happened with Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Maybe studios are being intimidated by the manga's artstyle. Vagabond is world-famous because of it. You need a studio/team that's either very skilled, resourceful & confident or a studio who just doesn't care (like the team who worked on the upcoming Ex-Arm anime, they really don't give a shit :heh).

My third choice would be David Production. They wouldn't be able to replicate the artstyle, but they usually get the direction right, which is even more important. Granted, we are still talking about an unfinished manga, based on the very much finished classic novel (even though manga has a number of huge deviations from the book). And said novel has been adapted a countless number of times as a live action movies/TV dramas. One of the movies, starring Toshiro Mifune, even won an Oscar.

As to what studio, well - who knows. Wit maybe, or Kinema Citrus.

And I'm not sure how negotiations go, but maybe the fact it's already very popular is a factor in why it's not getting an adaptation? They would have to pay too much for the rights or something.

I think all the credit for the occasional brilliance of that adaptation goes to Hamasaki, who did it working with limited resources. He or Furuhashi would be great choices as director, but I don't think Lidenfilms has the pure firepower to do it justice.

Blade of the immortal and Vagabond, while both looking gorgeous, have very different visuals too. Samura's art is very "stylish", while Inoue's is very realistic looking. I'd say the latter requires a way bigger budget.

Well the thing with Vagabond is that you need a studio who can pull off the gruff "beautifully dirty" look of the art. That's not a style you see often, and I'm not aware of a studio who knows how to do that.
Anyway back OT, I assume SD's movie will be day 1 hit here in my country.
