You could get the guys who did Hostel or Saw to do it. Maybe???

And look at how many old movies they are creating new versions of. The latest being 3:10 to Yuma.

I prefer that an asian studio make anime adaptations to the big screen rather than an American studio because American producers would try to make a PG-13 movie. Usually Japanese live-actions are cheap but I don`t care for the budget if the director is creative, just watch Ryuhei Kitamura`s Versus. Asian directors made great live actions like Takashi Miike`s Ichi the killer (Based on a manga) or Park Chan Wook`s Oldboy (Also based on a manga) If you want something for the fanboy, watch Kazuaki Kiriya`s Casshern, based on a 70`s anime. I don`t want bloodless wounds, patriotic speechs, bad jokes and P.C. dialogues. By the way, Hollywood will never make a live action with great budget because recent anime aren`t as popular as classic comic books.

I would like to watch a live action of Gantz. I think it`s possible because its character design is realistic and Japan has a tradition with monsters. I think the perfect director could be Takashi Miike or Ryuhei Kitamura. Both of them put a lot of violence on their movies and they are influenced by anime.

and whats 3:10 to Yuma?

Big budget is very importent if were talking about anime to live action. a budget of 100 Million or more is very key if your going to bring a anime like Gantz, Akira or Ghost in the Shell or Hellsing.

Big O (Hey if they did Sky Captain they can do this one)

I would love the idea of more anime coming to the big screen, I mean there are quite a few that would really work.

Here are some of the projects that are currently in production:

Blood: The Last Vampire
Gatchaman
Astro Boy
Lupin the Third
Ghost in the Shell
Evangelion

However here are some series that I think would be great in live action if done by people who understand what the show is and knows how to properly execute it (yes they are out there):

Cowboy Bebop
Chrono Crusade
Black Lagoon
Death Note (A U.S. remake would be awesome)
Big O (Hey if they did Sky Captain they can do this one)

And look at how many old movies they are creating new versions of. The latest being 3:10 to Yuma.

I haven't seen Transfomers yet but i heard good things about it. It has begun, this only means that there will be more cartoons becoming real movies. Is this good or bad, well we will have to wait and see. What do you guys think they'll try to convert next?
