It's nearly impossible for me to think of an anime becomming a live action show any good. A series like ghost in the shell would be very expensive, and might end up like a stupid detective movie, which wouldn't be any different from movies like the crap we see on NBC and CBS.

I also believe that if they tried, they could make a kick ass Akira movie. Lupin the third, shouldn't be too hard, and i don't really know how they would approach something like ninja scroll. But turning animation into live action just never really has the same feeling to it. Especially thinking about who the actors will be, what they look like, and their voices.

Jacki chan was signed up to make an Initial D movie made in China, don't know what happened to that one. And has anyone seen Fist of the North Star? Wasn't all that great. Nore was the DBZ movie, made me want to hurl all over the place.

Earlier, i posted a thread about the live action Eva movie. It's said to be very prommising, and I'd love a live action Eva, but i'm just specticle about if it's going to be any good. Anime with great plots, especially Mecha animes are very had to picture as live action, especially if they're made in japan, or anywhere else.

I feel that the best way they should approach live action anime would be the way they did Final Fantasy, and the final flight of osiris. CG anime could look great. DBZ, with realistic fighing and energy attacks. That has some real potential. Using cg for anime appeals to me mainly because they can keep the characters looking somewhat like they did in the original series.

That's my 2 cents worth.
