Sadly that’s too deep for the general public…

Hollywood is just trying to capitalize on known names, fuck the content. =/

It’s a sad state of affairs…

And lets not forget (or if you haven’t heard already) there will also be a Priest movie coming out -_-. The horror/western Manga is a work of art (in my opinion) but turning it into a Hollywood movie just makes me feel like they are going to royally mess it. The first script summery (that i read on imdb) was going to have Ivan hunt vampires that kidnapped his niece…. But the manga is about fallen angels and the fight between those forsaken by god…

Well supposedly his movie Avatar is coming out ( I don’t think it’s related to the anime Avatar) and supposedly Alita is coming out next year….

but supposedly Evangelion Live Action has been supposed to come out every year for the last 5 I think. I just got to say Hollywood leave the terrible manga/anime live-action adaptions to Japan and China they can pull off cheesy and people still love it.

**though the live action Blood looks sick in a freakin awesome way**

Yeah Cameron’s Alita is promising, only that he does like one move every decade so we might as well never see it.

I dread! Dread the cowboy bebop with Keanue as Spike!!

And I honestly demand blood for the atrocity that is DragonBall Z movie for a former fan to avenging anime lovers everywhere!!!

I can only say I think James Cameron’s Alita might be good just because his movies rock….except that one about some ship sinking somewhere >p

They are. Though it’s mainly just anime adaptations of US live action films. Highlander, the announcement of Mad Max, and i’m sure there are others i’m forgetting.

So, Evangelion will come the day after Cencorol wich comes one week after Duke Nukem Forever… Steamware, yes yes.

Why don’t the japanese make re-makes from American movies? Perhaps they will rate better!

The News: In an Evangelion panel at the Ohayocon anime convention in Columbus Ohio on January 30th, ADV director Matt Greenfield announced that several U.S. studios are competing for final rights to the project, meaning that actual production should begin soon. The delay on the project is due largely to the Transformers movie:

(Also, i was at that con, it was fun =3)

Wasn’t that project never more than a rumor?

Don’t forget Evangelion, although that one has been “in the works” for such a long time I doubt it will see the light any time soon.

I’ll purchase anything with the GITS name on it no matter how bad it turns out.

Hollywood must’ve ran out of books to adapt. You’d think they would be more wary ever since Speed Racer bombed.
