NEWS: Sailor Moon Movie News False

And for all you knuckleheazds arguing about Firefly and Serenity, it's merely a live-action Space Western heavily influenced my Eastern cultures and story elements.

That's part 1 of the problem: SM doesn't necessarily call for imagination and storytelling. It's pretty acrhetypal, considering it's the show that all following mahou shoujo shows are based/judged on.

Part 2 is his humor: I admit it's pretty good, but I don't think it works in this setting. Usagi isn't exactly the one to be making witty comebacks, you know.

I first heard about this rumor over at the Anime on DVD boards, but there was no official announcement on their front page (the thread is located in the Off-Topic section of the AoD fora), so I took the rumor for what it is - a rumor.

I think the argument is mainly people not being able to differentiate "influenced by" from "ripping off." And for the most part, either one of those stances is strictly opinion anyway, unless the artist in question actually says, "yeah, we pretty much just blatantly ripped off ______ for this."

I think this is a lot of people reading and misinterpreting interviews.

In an interview with Lindsay Lohan, she said that she was trying to convince Joss Whedon to let her play Wonder Woman. But Joss had no interest in Lindsay as Wonder Woman, and stated that.

In another Lindsay Lohan interview, after Joss denied her, she said that she wanted to do any action movie and play a heroine, such as Sailor Moon. Lindsay Lohan just used it as an example, and wasn't trying to imply that there was a Sailormoon movie in production. And there was never any attachment to Joss Whedon.

These are just people mixing interviews and misinterpreting them

I'm amazed at how many people thought this could be true, how funny. Thanks for finally killing the rumor.

Plus, Whedon wouldn't cast Lindsay Lohan, I'd imagine Trachtenberg would be on the fast track for the title role.

I think that remake of Outlaw Star[What was it again? Serenity?] he did last year just proved he wasn't cut out to adapt anime.

That, or another possibility is that it could've been a belated April Fools' joke. Makes me wonder what the Animage article in question actually said.

Thanks again for clearing this up. I was a little worried, not but Joss Whedon cus well the man is a genus. I think he would have done an awsome job on a sailor moon movie. BUt Lindsey Lohan as sailormoon, that had me seriously freaking out. So thank you so much ANN for clearing this up, I always knew you would.
