| I'm not at all a fan of the series, but it makes perfect business sense for FOX to do this. even if the movie tanks in america, its got a worldwide brandname buit in that will vitually guarantee a profit, so its an almost risk-free venture.
having said that, i think its a terrible idea. how can you possibly translate anime into a live action incarnation? it takes away a fundamental aspect of why these shows work. sure this idea might be gold on paper, and i hope they know what they're doing, but anime is about the drawing, plain and simple. i don't think it will work.
(and on a side note, i laughed out loud when FOX took credit for the success of star wars, hoping to establish dragonballz as a franchise like sw--how's that, FOX, a franchise you have no control over, get nothing but a pittance from, and have no involvement whatsover? riiiiight. but i digress.)
anyways, we'll see if and when this gets made. its been fast-tracked, but this kind of think could get stuck in development h3ll so very, very easily. anyways, i do hope they do it right, and do it well, and the fans out there get what they want. here's hopin'.
