Anime/games to movies?

You know the new trend after comics made such a huge hit in theatres was to make anime/cartoons/and video games into movies now.

Sooo far they've been failing at it pretty miserably. DOOM was horrible (and I like the Rock too =\), Dragon Ball looks like it's gonna be crap, Max Payne was pretty decent (although I don't think it matched the game even remotely but I don't really remember the game all that much), Thundercats, Transformers 1&2, Avatar the last Airbender (or whatever that shows called), GI Joe, Blood The Last Vampire, etc so many coming out and a lot have already come out. But it's hard to think of many good ones.

The original Mortal Kombat was pretty good...at the time. The new street fighter looks kinda good, but dunno how well it'll match up. I just hope it's a good movie though.

Anyway thinkin about it I thought about the few Classic Anime that would/could make cool live action movies...if done right. Tell me what you think, or if I missed any.

1st off I guess would be Gundam, with the special effects today it'd be pretty easy to make a good movie using gundam's.

If America made it, they'd prolly base it off Gundam Wing? I think that's the most popular season of Gundam in the US.

Gundam 00 (newest season)

Although Gundam's stories are usually long and have lots of characters and development, it'd be really hard to fit it all into one single movie. Maybe a duo of movies, or even a war trilogy movie would work. Or if they worked with the creators of Gundam to come up with a completely original story that'd be fine too, and people shouldn't get too mad since the story wouldn't be ruining anything.

How about Record of Lodoss War? I'm pretty sure it's based off Lord of the Rings, and Dungeons and Dragons game, and vampires heh...sooo film it like LOTR, and you got a pretty good live action anime movie...minus all the long drawn out hobit stuff heh.

Then there's the "Never Ending Story" like Escaflowne. You get giant monster robot knights, dragons, school girls, and medival vs tech story. Hmm they made it into an animated movie where they butchered the story so I guess if they wanted they could do the same with a live action movie...

Hmmm...dunno.

Or a samurai movie Rurouni Kenshin. The best fighter who's unwilling to take a life during an age where fighting to the death is common. Although there's no white people in that story so Hollywood would have to butcher it to make it fit into their scheme's of ruining everything by putting white people where they don't belong.

My favorit would prolly be Ranma 1/2 though. But I don't think America should make it, because I don't think they'd be able to. China would definitely have to handle all the choreo and action and casting would be important, but the story could be good and really fun to watch.

Man I've wanted a live action Ranma since I was like 9 heh.

The best and most likely to be made (at least in the US) would be Berserk. I mean it takes place in Europe, so most of the characters are white anyway. So no one should get really angry with all the bad casting. Has a good story and lots of action to keep people interested. Should be good...

Yep, safest bet for America would to be making a movie from an anime where most of the characters are white. The magic/powers are lower (until the end anyway), and has a lot of action to keep people on the edge of their seats.

Games wise I can't think of anything right now heh.

Whatcha all think?

I wish they wouldn't bother, it's always diabolical when they try to western-movie-ize anything Japanese.  They just don't understand how to make it buff.  Then again, even the Devilman movie wasn't buff and that was made in Japan.

The worst news is the American Akira movie being planned.  This is so blasphemous.  And how is it gonna be Akira if it's in New York, not in Japan and no-one's Japanese?

Doesn't make sense to me.

The worst thing about these things is they use people that are nothing like that characters, and not buff at all.  I saw that dragonball trailer and the chun li movie trailer, sickening.  And would you cast a Japanese dude as Sherlock Holmes?  I don't think so.  So why the hell cast a white dude as a Japanese character.  And not only that, they're never as buff as the characters are supposed to be.

Nevermind, they're still gonna continue to pillage, so whatever.

---Where is the fun in that tho-
I am all for a few of the above. I hadn't heard of Berserk tho. I did like Max Payne but never played the game so I couldn't tell if it was sim or not....
Thundercats, Transformers 1&2 loved these as a kid ;0)

Pedro - Tight, good luck with getting the rights ^_^.

Rotten - Yeah, I figured a lot of people would be like that, that's why I said classic heh.  I figured I'd have more people wanting Naruto or Bleach live actions heh.

Shok - Nothing you say surprises me anymore...-_- heh.

Blasian - Yeah! Meeee tooo...if it's done right anyway.

Peach - Yeah girls need more role models anyway heh.

Melly - Yeah Transformers wasn't too bad, I just threw it in the list.  I know fans of the original series hate it, but I just try to take it as a spin off...like a different telling of a similar story...kinda, still wish Shia Lewhatever was in the movie less and it focused more on the robots.

Raina1/2 - Yep sure is heh.

Ms. S - Hollyweird won't change until the generation controlling it now dies out, and by then the next generation won't understand what the generation after them wants to see either...it's a vicious cycle.  And Voltron live action?  Please don't ruin it...Voltrons a classic...maaaaannnn....

Butter - Yeah it'd be stupid not too.  Like if they made an Onimusha movie and didn't cast Kaneshiro even though he was the face, voice and motion capture for the main character...

Raul - Yeah I actually forgot about that...ok scratch Gundam off they already screwed it up...sigh heh.

luviduvi - Thundercats is filming now, Avatar is almost finished I think.  And yeaaah miss ya too...but no hugs for you! muahaha *cough cough* heh...meh =p

Pong - Yeah I forgot about KOF and Maggie Q.  I just hope Maggie's not Mai...I like Mai and I like Maggie...but Mai's supposed to have at least C cups (to be realistic) Maggies like a small A? heh  But I'll still watch it for maggie anyway.

The Escaflowne movie sucks, ESPECIALLY if you've seen the entire series...they try to cram the entire story into an hour and a half and change some things and drop a ton of stuff out just to make it fit...its horrible.

Cloud - I don't think hentai would make good Live Action movies in hollywood...although I've seen in the DVD sections some live action versions of hentai movies before...scary stuff.

Moon - GTO live action was the first jdrama I ever watched.  Still makes me cry in certain parts heh, I mean uh makes me laugh haha...ha....Escaflowne should be easy enough, enough white people in it for them to do.  Lot of story to cover though so they'd have to be smart about it.

Enig - You can't see Escaflowne cuz of the story, but FMA? hehe Full Metals story is pretty deep too, specialy if they go from the manga and not the anime version.  I saw shinobi, loved it, saw basilisk...liked it at first...then I saw shinobi...never finished basilisk either hehe.  And Hollywood casting correctly?  Doubtful to happen on a big budget film.

Moon x2 - Reed or Die would be pretty cool too.  But then people might just think it's a Jumper spin off kinda like how people are talking about Push being a Jumper and Heroes rip off.

Gil - Yeah Gundam 00 is really good, the ending is kinda annoying though, luckily season two started recently.  You've never seen Escaflowne?  Go watch it, you'll like it.  I think Berserk would be the best bet.  Make it in a trilogy...or 4 parts though so you can get the whole story and it'd be great.  Film it like 300 or better.  I watched it the other day, and when he cuts people the blood flies the same as it does in 300 (that's where the idea to film it similarly came to mind).

Sam-00 - Yeah yeah I know you like Shining...I get it hehe.  That pic is Gatsu (Guts) in the black Berserk armor.

Ror - You on season one still?  It gets crazy in season 2.  Gundam W was pretty good, I should go back and watch it again to get the story better this time around heh.

Seek9 - Yeah, I like that animation house a lot, they do lots of detail and nice colors...plus they have pretty nifty designs for characters/clothes/machines/etc.

The way it was explained to me, the new Street Fighter is an action film with a totally original (as original as Hollyweird can get) storyline that "happens" to have the Street Fighter characters as it's characters. There will be nods to the game, but none of the freakishness like the first film had.

There was no 3 in the Mortal Kombat films. There IS a new one in the making, but it's rumored to be a "re-boot" with no ties to the first two films and will likely have none of the same actors. I was told that has more to do with money (nobody actors get paid a LOT less than returning, sequel actors) though, than anything else.

正義番長 Mao toi la viet (dunno the tones heh)

A poor struggling artist trying to live his own way in a confined business run world.

Hmm about me huh? Well my story isn't for the weak of heart. Actually it probably isn't for anyone, because it's probably really boring. So I'll just go over some aspects.

Born in Manhattan New York. We lived in Queens, Brooklyn and eventually moved over to Jersey before heading out to California where my mom was from. We'd end up moving every couple of years because rent would go up and we couldn't afford to stay where we were.

I started learning martial arts from my father when I was about 4 years old, he's a 3rd degree black belt in Japanese JiuJitsu so he taught me the basics. He got tired of teaching though and sent me to sign up at the local Tae Kwon Do school. Every time we'd move I'd have to sign up at a new school, usually learning a new style as well. I stuck through doing martial arts at least 3-6 days a week up until the day I turned 18. Lots of the time I had wanted to quit, because giving up my days to train and tire myself out while other kids were just home goofing off or hanging out and so on seemed like a waste to me. But after I turned 18 I was off to college where I began teaching a weird TKD/Karate mix to elementary school kids all across the San Jose area up north. Teaching the kids was a lot of fun, one of my favorite jobs ever. Had to go through a lot because parents didn't like a kid teaching their kids, but after a while I'd have the parents asking me to teach them. I did that for a couple years but hadn't really trained myself in 3 or so years, until I joined a WuShu school back down in San Diego. I trained pretty good there for about a year, then got the chance to go to Beijing to train WuShu out there. My first day there though I ended up ripping my Achilles tendon and had to quit training for good pretty much. I fell into a bit of depression thinking my martial arts life was over, Achilles injuries always seemed the worst to me, and Martial Arts had always been a big part of my life. I haven't ever gotten my foot completely fixed, so still hurts like hell everyday, but much less than it used to. I couldn't walk for at least over 6 months, and couldn't walk properly for almost 2 years. The injury happened about 4 years ago, back in 2004. About 6 months ago I started training a lot again and now I'm back on track to where I want to be. Although my skill level has dropped significantly and I'm embarrassed for people to see me, especially people who knew me before my injury and before I was 18 heh.

That's my Martial Arts history, now for my acting one heh.

At around 10-12 I began an acting career. It didn't really get anywhere because I looked "too young" according to all the casting directors I would go see. I got a couple small things, but nothing significant. Then I had to drop my agent, who took advantage of me anyway, and had to start focusing on school. Later when I was about 16-17 I tried to get back into it again with a new passion and drive. I almost got a couple leading roles on tv shows, but this time I was too old heh. Then I had the opportunity to get on some high school drama show, but I was leaving for college then and my parents told me college was more important. So I left. Acting had to go on the back burner for a while. I tried once or twice to get back into it in the later years, but never had the opportunity or had to back out before I could really pursue it. Now I'm driven more than ever and on my way back to the life of acting and trying to get myself recognized. With the help of some friends, learning new acting techniques and getting some tips on where I should start and how I should approach the whole thing. Acting as an adult seems, so far anyway, much different from acting as a child. Exciting and scary it's the path I've chosen and the one I'll be on forever hopefully.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
