Korean news agency Yonhap reports that the 2007 Korean live action television series The Legend (Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi) will be adapted into a Korean-Japanese co-produced 26 episode animated television series. The historical fantasy about the establishment of the Korean nation has been a major success in Korea and a big hit in Japan, where it’s had not only a successful television broadcast, but also a stage musical adaptation earlier this year and an ongoing manga adaptation from Riyoko Ikeda (Rose of Versailles). The $3 million project will be financed by the producer of the original television series, GNG Entertainment, along with Korea’s Mix Film and Japanese based video-on-demand distributor Neo. Production on the animated series is expected to be completed by early 2010.
