Haha.
I saw a trailer for Blood: The Last Vampire today. Shame that wasn't shot down before it got to the production stage; it looks awful. I really hate wire work.

Whatever, someone tell James Cameron to hurry up with Avatar so he can make a GUNNM Live-Action movie so I can finally throw it in someones face who says "America ruins anime turning it into a live-action movie" and then say "Yeah? Take a look at the BAA movie, BAM." It's funny how most people hate on the likes of Dragon Ball: Evolution and Blood: The Last Vampire yet support garbage like X-men: Wolverine Origins which the main attraction is (ruined) Deadpool.
Just thought I'd throw that out there, of course, I could always be wrong.
Akira shouldn't be a movie anyway, it's too... big.

I believe that by America he means Holywood.ayase said:Except James Cameron, who is "writing, producing and directing Battle Angel" is Canadian.Lupus said:
Anyway, I'm looking forward for Blood. BAA is something I'm really looking forward as well, but considering it's James Cameron, I take it with two pinches of salt.
He promised an Spiderman movie right after terminator 2, which never happened until Sam Raimi, about 10 years later.

I'll admit my comment was probably around 80-85% facetiousness, but I still think I have a point (after all, no American could still claim to have made a good anime adaption even if Cameron's is good).chaos said:I believe that by America he means Holywood.ayase said:Except James Cameron, who is "writing, producing and directing Battle Angel" is Canadian.Lupus said:

I for one am delighted that it's not been made as I don't believe that any live-action film could ever better Otomo's anime classic .I'm curious though ,when you consider the average Hollywood movie budget can be between $50 & $100 million ,I wonder how many anime series a company like Production I.G or Madhouse could make with that kind of money?

Hmm... Anime's become very much part of mainstream culture in Japan (wasn't always so before anyone says) and look what's happened. Churning out season after season of Moe crap and "remakes" or "re-imaginings" or "cash-ins" or whatever you want to call them. Part of me wants Anime to become more well known, but part of me dreads what will happen if it becomes too well known. I don't want it to become cool for chavs to have anime decals on their Corsas for example.RetroRainbow said:

False alarm, chaps.
I suppose that's the way the biscuit crumbles.

Yeah, I would agree that Akira is one of the few things that might work as live action. My main concern would be how they would go about showing Tetsuo after his transformation - bad cgi could easily ruin it.
