WB Has Optioned Bleach?

According to the Anime News Network via Topless robot, Warner Brothers studio has licensed the rights to Tite Kubo's Bleach in hopes of making a live action film. At the helm will be Dan Mazeau who did the Wrath of the Titans remake as script writer. Peter Segal who's credits include the Get Smart remake ane the Longest Yard remake is set to produce the film and possibly being the director as well.

Warner Brothers has already acquired the rights to adapt Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Death Note.  Without producing any output so far, WB seems bent on buying up anime rights.

I am a big fan of Bleach and what bothers me about this arrangement is the script writer's credit is that horrid remake of Wrath of the Titans and the director Get Smart and the Longest Yard remakes.   All perfectly fine in their original incarnation but to a one were abysmal offerings the second time around.
