I remember hearing that Tite Kubo had stated that there will never be a Live-Action Bleach film, made in any nation. I am sorry if I missed it, but what happened to that idea?

$$$, probably. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, as profit is the purpose of creating a franchise) |

Probably went out the window when he signed off on the horrible rock musicals. Seriously, he let that through and people don't think he'd allow a major motion picture? Let's be realistic, he's either all talk, greedy, or doesn't have the power over the direction of Bleach that people think he does. Emerje |

Maybe If Obama would change the education system in U. S. in the same way he's doing with the health care reform, so that instead of students killing each other in the schools, improve their educational level, maybe Hollywood would be smart enought for not messing with this kind of things. |

This is not a political topic, and that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. Keep this on topic or it goes to Locksville or the OT posts will simply be removed.
I know certain people are obsessed with showing their political prejudice, but it doesn't apply here, plain and simple. |

I agree with the others who have said that the movie would almost inevitably turn into a disaster. Bleach is really something that can ONLY work well as anime and manga, that's it. Its meant to be drawn and animated, nothing like real life people to play the characters because there is so much to Bleach that would fail on the believability scale if it were live action. The characters, the major elements of the series has anime dyed into its core. It would look ridiculous with real living actors on the big screen. Movies have to have a good sense of believability to it in order for audiences to really accept it in that sense. And I agree that there is a lot to Bleach that has that Japanese culture written over it, changing it would kind of just ruin it, even the english dubb version over here is kind of odd.
What Hollywood should do is release more animated movies from Japan and/or just simply produce more animated original movies here. I don't get why they HAVE to make animated series into live action in the first place. The rock musical is different however, plays are expected to be over the top as well as musicals. There's just different expectations when it comes to theater and a movie. Unless the movie is part musical, than that is different. From what was reported it doesn't sound like the production company has its sights on making the characters break out in song and dance. |

THis is what I have found about the situation. "Kubo doesn't own Bleach, Shueisha (the parent company of Shonen Jump) owns it. Kubo has no say in what happens to any spin off projects (like the anime, movies, video games, toys), the only thing that Kubo has direct control over is the manga itself (which is why I always say that nothing but the manga and databooks actually written by Kubo are canon). Shueisha sold the North American rights to VIZ Media. So the only people that have to approve any movie licensing deals in the US is VIZ Media. Kubo has no say in what VIZ does with the Bleach franchise in North America." Which is unfortunate, because Kubo probably isn't thrilled about it. This is what I found from his twitter: シカトで通そうと思ってたけど、結構関連ツイートが増えてきたので書いときます。映画の件ですが、随分前から話はあります。が、今まで何も発言していない ことから分かる通り、何も言えません。公式発表を待ってください。ご理解お願いします。以降、この件に関して一切発言する事はありません。 """I was thinking of ignoring or overlooking this matter, but there's been an increase of tweets about it, so I'll write down (what I think). The matter in question is a movie, but there've been discussions going on since much earlier. From what I understand, though - since there has been no talk about it yet - I can't say anything. Please await the official announcement. I trust you'll understand the situation. From now on, there won't be any talking about this matter here.""" [Sigh] As a fan I'm not too thrilled about it either. |

Thanks for the twitter information. As Dorcas previously said, if it was monetary gain on Tite Kubo’s part, I’d have no problem. There’s nothing wrong with profiting off of your creation. The idea that they would make it without his permission in that way, however, is a horrifying thought. It makes me really loose any faith I had in the project still. However, I know there are a lot of similar projects in the works as well, like the Akira and Robotech films. Not to say I have a lot of faith in them either. No offense meant of course!

I actually really want to see a Gundam Live-action after watching transformers.

I would be delighted and overjoyed if someone with a background in black magic to put a grisly curse promising agonizing death on anyone from corporate Hollywood who tries to adapt Bleach into a live action movie. I sincerely believe if a Bleach movie had to be done, it is best done in native Japan by maybe someone like Takashi Miike, Ryuhei Kitamura, or Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Stop the white-washing hollywood. I weep for Tite Kubo.

Yeah... i dont see how ANY of that has to do with EASTERN content. Harry Potter movies make a lot, but they're generally considered inferior to the books. And i dont think that a Bleach Live Action movie is going to have a budget of over 40mil. Batman, Harry Potter, and LOTR are all WESTERN. Anime is EASTERN. Two completely different types of content. |
