Melissa Joan Hart takes on Samurai role - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Superstar · 10-05-2004, 02:54 PM

Melissa Joan Hart has signed a deal with manga publisher TOKYOPOP to produce and star in a film based on the Japanese comic book and anime Samurai Girl: Real Bout High School, the company announced. Dan Gordon (The Hurricane) will write the screenplay, which he describes as Clueless meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The story centers around a twenty-something sushi-bar hostess who discovers she is a reincarnated Samurai warrior and mankind's only hope to save the world from a coven of monsters which hatch every 5,000 years, the company said.

Hart's production company, Hartbreak Films, had been looking for a project with a strong, dynamic female lead when Gordon brought them the script. "Dan took a few weeks reading the material and then delivered a story that had us sitting on the edges of our seats," said executive producer Paula Hart. "It is smart, funny and terribly exciting." TOKYOPOP and Hartbreak Films are now in conversations with potential studio partners for the project.

Melissa Joan Hart just needs to go away! I mean the woman is in her 30s, so why is she doing these kids movies? If she is gonna make movies, or do TV, than at least make it PG-13.
