can't remember was the comic that violet? or are you talking about the 98 movie? Then you have Stand Alone Complex witch safely be a PG 13.

To be fair, a lot of people blame that movie's disappointing box office on it's PG-13 rating. It made the fanbase far more skeptical about it (and they were right).

I'd rather see it cancelled than some cobbled together piece of trash in the same vein as the new RoboCop or Total Recall. If it turns out good, then I'll be surprised and awed, but I really can't see that happening. We can't get a Mad Max that often.

I'd like to see Netflix make a live action Psycho Pass. That seems like the type of show that would translate well into live action and I seem to remember the creators of Psycho Pass intentionally made the show so it could also work as a live action setting.

I can confirm it is 100% going ahead, the company I work for is supplying gear for it and I've sent some of the gear to Auckland for it myself!

Netflix should do Cowboy Bebop. A good mix of contemporary and futuristic stuff so it wouldn't be too big of a budget except for when Spike is dogfighting in his Swordfish, but those times are much rarer. Most of the time it's on a contemporary looking planet.

If anime must be adapted to live action, high budget cable and premium is pretty much the only way to accomplish the goals. Less censorship and more general freedom to revel in the genre without having to be so worried about weekly viewership.

I'm still going to give this movie a chance so I'll go see Ghost in the Shell when it's released in theaters besides It makes much more sense to have Paramount as the Distributor rather than Disney.

Ah, the game of musical chairs. Will the real producer please standup!
I give this specific production till summer to get all the ducks in a row or death awaits... Again.
GitS and Akira are the Lazarus of the adaptation world. Or the Rip Van Winkle. Does anyone have and update of the "upcoming" MGS film?
We will also be flooded with Mad Max a-likes if the film manages to win big next month.
That franchise is even one of the most copied in general. Wasteland/Fallout, Fist of the North Star (and thus Berserk!), that 2-Pac video, this week´s Osomatsu-san,... The bestselling Fury Road DC/Vertigo tie-in comic had a few good tales btw.

I was expecting Disney to pull out sooner or later. A Disney/DreamWorks partnership is a disaster waiting to happen, considering DreamWorks was founded specifically to antagonize Disney.

Whatever happened to Guillermo del Toro's live-action adaptation of Monster?

Forgot: @Animeking1108 Down and Out in Beverly Hills was Disney's first R-rated film in 1986.
They own Touchstone Pictures after all and i would be surprised if we got an R-rated GitS (even if this production survives) or anime anything with a real budget any time soon.
The Guillermo del Toro curse happened to Monster .
