Live action manga adaptions newest Hollywood trend?
Viz media has recently launched a hollywood film company to produce live action films based on popular manga. Thanks to the massive success of comic book adaptions, could the Dragonball live action movie be a kick start to the newest hollywood trend?

Astroboy isn't live action(thank god). These live action anime adaptions scare the hell out of me. I don't want leonardo de caprio anywhere near my Akira. In fact, the only person in any role of any live action anime adaptation I can even stand to imagine is Sam Jackson, but that because he's the ************* Sam Jackson. Hell, let Sam Jackson be Goku. Put Sam Jackson in an orange jump suit. Give Sam Jackson a big ass sword.
Come on Hollywood, DO IT!

I hate the idea of a good series being tainted by some lame movie.
Usually in these sort of things the actors look nothing like the characters, which is annoying. Like the Misa in Death Note. Would it really have been so hard to die her hair blonde and give her an outfit similar to what she wears in anime? -.-

lol. Death Note already have a live action movie.Naruto couldn't be pulled off. For so many reasons. Why. Americas violent degenerating youth will attempt to be like Ninjas. And we cant have a bunch of 6 year olds claiming to be chunnins running around with knives in their pockets.

ermm
um... I don't see your reasoning.
Though if any COuntires children were "degenerating" it'd be the Japanese kids since they're the oens who originally watch it. And I rememebr the uproar of a bunch of them killing themselves by "roleplaying" WoW.
Originally posted by CsdabestKid would be doing it already....Not to mention pirates, and pretty much any other thing they find cool. And it's not like kids don't play with fake ninja kits already or fake swords. What would Naruto live movie really do that the anime won't?
Seriously. Do people want kids immitating Naruto ninjas carrying around knives in their pockets.

What's wrong with him being Akira? He's the King of the World. (sorry...had to do it)
Yup...it's all going in that direction...[sigh] blowup
