We already have a Live Action My Hero Academia, it's called Sky High.

Well, the director gives me some hope, but I still don't have high expectations.

They keep greenlighting live-action adaptations of animanga but we’ve heard nothing from the ones that were announced ages ago

ab: Well, it looks like they're serious about Saint Seiya, at least.

Everyone keeps making this joke without the obvious caveat that Sky High was a terrible film and a notorious box office bomb. And I say that as a Bruce Campbell fan. This one has been cooking for a while. Legendary greenlit it after Two Heroes did well in a limited release and this time last year Sato was signed on as director. Now they have a distributor (Legendary ended their distributor deal with Warner over them release films on HBO Max day and date), so it seems to be marching slowly but surely towards release. |

I would argue that’s the Hollywood process in general. Genre films gets greenlit all the time but only a 1/10th of them make it to the screen. Spy Hunter, Soul Calibur, Ranma 1/2, Grendel, Sailor Moon, the Spawn reboot; these are just a few examples of greenlit IP that never made it to the big screen. |

Japan is likely too anxious to get more money than to realize that Hollywood has a very sour history of adapting live-action versions of anime. That Alita film somewhat got it right but they had to go the Shounen Jump Weekly path by adding a Latino/Hispanic setting to the story when it was NOT like that in the manga.

From the writer of the Obi-Wan tv series and Zach Snyder's Army of the Dead?
Another adaptation headed straight for the trash heap. |

Hmm...seeing that Netflix is handling a lot more live action adaptations, does this mean that the companies rather bank on using a streaming service than risk a theatrical release?
That's how I see it anyway. I'm not really liking Netflix being the supreme holder of these things, because even if I did like the series, it's not guaranteed that a physical release is possible. I'm still someone who likes getting physical copies of things, so maybe I'm a rarity. |

Obi-Wan writer plus Hollywood greedy fingers on it? Dead on arrival, no question. Even if it’s a “woke” interpretation or not with that writer it’s just DOA.
