Everyone keeps bashing American made live action anime, but has anyone seen Transformers?

There are so many better and more easily-Westernised Anime out there. Why oh why would anyone go with Bleach? Because it's popular? Well, I've got news for those people who think it is; it isn't. Not among mainstream American viewers, who are far more important than a niche audience. Since its popularity amongst Anime fans will be of little consequence, very few mainstream viewers are going to be able to tell the difference between it and other contenders. So why not choose a story which is actually good? Why not give Peter Jackson all the money he wants and needs and get him to produce (the director could be someone else) the adaptation of Neon Genesis Evangelion? There are many many many great stories in Anime's back catalogue; after the disaster of Dragonball: Evolution and the lacklustre performance of Speed Racer, why go with something like Bleach?
Sigh. No use getting angry about it. I mean, years of Hollywood screwups should have indoctrinated me against all this crap. Doublesigh. |

33%
Average rating that movie critics gave Dragonball:E (13%), Speed Racer (37%), and Astro Boy (48%); according to rottentomtoes.com $24.3 million is the average domestic gross of these three (neither of them came close to earning back their production budgets) and yet, they keep trying. *I am shocked that Bleach would come before a Naruto movie though |

They are working to acquire the rights for Bleach. Does not mean it will ever see the light of day. There is a long road from here to a film being shown on a screen. I cannot even imagine all the hurdles in getting this adjusted for a wide audience. Then getting Japan to agree on everything. Don't envy the guy or gal that gets that job. Heck, we could even get an I Robot version where it's Bleach in name only.
My guess is a lot of studios are going to acquire rights to various popular properties just in case there is an actual Anime adaptation blockbuster. Then they can get their adaptation out to ride that wave. |

This is the second headline in the last few days that made me double check the date. (I usually fall for fake April Fool's news because I don't realize what day it is.)
Alas! Only the 22nd. |

I wonder if Nick Simmons will suddenly gain a newfound interest in filmmaking after this is released.

Well I for one hope that the American Adaptation of Bleach never see's the light of day. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for wanting to make Anime more mainstream but... so far every American Adaptation of an Anime series and/or manga has flopped. I wish I could be more optimistic about this but as most of you already pointed out, Hollywood is either running out of ideas and/or they're just out to make some cash(no surprise there), I really doubt they're out to make the film because they love the mange/series. But hey, that's just my 2 cents.

WTF?! This movie is so gonna suck, but yet I have a feeling I'll probably end up watching this movie somehow just because it has Bleach in the Movie Title.

lol.... wow, just....
Really? Seriously? While I think majority of everyone, including myself can say it most likely/probably won't turn out very well. I still actually want this to happen if only to see how they would go about doing it. But yea, big noooooo..... Seems like a good idea at first but.... And like someone said before, DN makes much more sense. I've been wondering whats still going on with that one. But Bleach? Unless they do, as someone else said before me, stick with just the hollow part and not really go too much into the actual story (which probably wouldn't happen they'd probably just change everything anyways) Then maybe I could see it happening. Ofcourse it'd then just end up being another 'guy-fighting-supernatural' movies and well, what would be the whole reason for it being Bleach then? I dunno, I like Bleach, but no.... can't see this actually happening and turning out decent. Unless they learn from DB:E. Though here's hoping they do and it does. |
