I would say that's impossible, but that would contradict the entire shows message.
That's precisely why it'd be great live action. That would be going far beyond the impossible, and if it could be pulled off... well... I'd like to think that world peace would ensue.
As long as there is galaxy-throwing it could never be a bad movie. if transformers 2 had the throwing of galaxies, it would have won an oscar.
or just 2 hours of Kamina screaming would be better than most movies out there.

Someone already said it, but none of them. Cross mediums and cultures is bad. Also, part of the reason there are so many animes is because they are cheaper to make than live action. They also tend to do completely outlandish things.

Remember Dragon Ball: Evolution? Yammcha was a surfer dude that didn't know any martial arts. Talk about completely screwing up the source material.

Hellsing, because I want to see how the American public reacts to a real vampire after being tainted by twilight.

Can whoever's saying GiTS stop? You know what Hollywood and that sonuvabitch, Avi Arad will do to it. I'm already dying inside after having found out it's going live action.

Besides, I remember reading that Mamoru Oshii regarded the visuals as the most important aspect of filmmaking. What the hell do you bring to the table with live action?


For those of you who do not know who Avi Arad is, he produced the Bratz movie, Elektra, Blade: Trinity and will be working on the Mass Effect and Uncharted movies. If you can only pick one person to hate, make it him.

Exactly. That's always been my argument as to what makes a good movie.

If they ever got it RIGHT I still say DBZ would make an amazing live action movie. I'm saying make it dark. Cast Jet Li as Vegeta.

The final battle between Neo and Smith in Matrix 3? I want an hour and a half of that, but better and with spikey golden hair.

Macross would make a bloody brilliant live action adaptation. Just imagine a mix of Transformers and Battlestar Galactica (2003), and you'd have a very rough approximation of how it could play out.

first things first, it would have to be a trilogy instead of just one movie, to allow for better pacing and development without infodumping

that said something based on macross or patlabor would be great, gundam...maybe, so long as a) it does not tie into any of the pre established contunuities (clear slate, allows a tad more creative freedom and avoids the sticky issue of retcons) and b) a decent effort is actually made by the scriptwriters and actors. In short, don't let it be G-saviour all over again.

and for those complaining that hollywood would just botch it, the solution is easy, don't use hollywood, go to someone else, there are film industries outside of the US

not too worried about mass efect because bioware is writeing the script and have the athority to scrap the movie if they dont like it.(they like their fans and dont want to give people something shitty:) now lets be clear electra and blade were well filmed but the dam scripts for them sucked. So if you want to be mad at someone be mad at the writers who did the scipts:)

Serial Experiments Lain. Partly because I think it would actually be really, really good, and partly because I want to see just how many people it would confuse the hell out of.

If they got the Digimon to look right... Well, Digimon.
I just want to see a realistic fire-breathing dinosaur.

Yes, but they all have one common factor.

I'm willing to bet that the better Marvel movies didn't give him much authority.
