Shoji Gatoh's light novel series "Full Metal Panic!" is reportedly being turned into a live-action film. Mandalay Pictures has acquired the theatrical rights to the action comedy series, which revolves around a young sergeant who masquerades as a high schooler in order to protect a girl. The light novels have been adapted into both anime and manga form.

Actor Zac Efron may be involved in the project. Not much else is known yet about Mandalay's plans for the movie.
