According to Anime-NI, manga inspired artwork drawn by Sweatdrop Studio's very own Sonia Leong will appear in the new British comedy "Popcorn", starring Jack Ryder from Eastenders. The movie is set to debut in UK cinemas March 2007 and images of Sonia's work can be found on the official website (under Gallery -> Manga).

Talking of movies that feature anime - Hollywood is on the case too. Ben Affleck's upcoming film "Smokin' Aces" is set to include clips from the hentai (pornographic) anime "Daiakuji". Whether or not this is a positive boost to the reputation of anime outside of Japan remains to be seen.
 
Same here, it might of been because I saw a preview and then they added it into the film later, a very good stylish movie by the way.
 
Gneh? Wasn't expecting to see a post on me here! XD

In case anyone gets the wrong idea, Popcorn is not hentai in any way - it's just a UK dirty comedy, which features sexy babe art from me.
 
If you're talking about my art, actually it's already within the movie, and is at the start of the trailer - my art is used as part of the set dressing and the props. The magazines the camera zooms in on, the posters on the wall, strips during the film to outline his plans etc.

All I wanted to say was please don't confuse "Popcorn" with the other film mentioned in this thread, "Smokin' Aces" which has a hentai clip in it.

If you're talking about extended versions of hentai clips on "Smokin' Aces", well, I dunno anything about that XD
 
on a side note, thats gotta be the cheeseiest pickup line i've ever heard :D

"Did you know "suki" means "beloved" in japanese" XD

looks good though sonia :D

Sorry, I tried to make it clear in the title that your movie was separate :) When writing the story I did think that perhaps the thread title would be confused, but trying to fit it all into one line with limited characters was proving difficult. Either way, great to see you "representing" manga in mainstream British culture.
