Only he might not be tall enough and he's really young, course costuming and makeup could take care of that. But he definitely got the acting skills! Hellsing would be good along with Gantz but as for Hellsing they have to make Alucard cgi and nothing else I don't see a male actor pulling off the look of Alucard and do it justice.

I don't know, I think it's possible. Hollywood may be a corrupt business worried more about pleasing their pockets than pleasing their audience, but they ARE capable of producing a good movie. Hellsing can ge awesome in the RIGHT HANDS.

(Also, who else would want to see Alan Rickman as Walter? Anyone? I can't be the only one.)

Hellsing is not that hard to make into a live action film its simple really and will make a great one to boot and give a middle finger to all those who dismiss anime as being stupid and not having good stories. But I stand by my cgi comment I can't see any male or female actor playing Alucard have not seen one sorry.

James Cameron was without a doubt one of the best Directors in American Cinema, though honestly in recent years I have to wonder if he's lost his touch. His earlier movies were one of the few I can remember that showed you could have a flashy action movie but with real characters, that had real personalities and real drama. Unfortunately after Titanic all I've seen him make was dissappointing personally. Honestly I seriously lost faith in him after seeing him spew insults at the idea of an Aliens Versus Predator movie.

Well, Cameron hasn't actually done a feature film since Titanic.

Well, Cameron hasn't actually done a feature film since Titanic. He's basically done documentaries since. I say he's just not good at documentaries. Also, AvP wasn't exactly a great movie. That being said, I don't think Cameron is suited for evangelion.

Well how would you feel if a piece of crap was added to a franchise that your a part of. He just had, and rightly so, the foresight to see how it would turn out. The Alien franchise ranks in as far as how good they are, in order from Scott's masterpiece to Jeunet's 'meh'. With Cameron's film following in a close second to Scotts. In other words a really excellent film. AVP was total crap, even worse so than Resurrection was. And anytime crap is added like that, it just brings the whole group of movies down with it. If I was him I would be pissed too.

He wasn't lambasting AvP the movie, he was lambasting the concept. His comments came out back when they were still trying to find a director and then get a story, he went off on how it was insulting to the franchise, and was the studio's way of "closing the book" and cashing out on the Aliens franchise. Which shook me since practically every fan of either franchise (myself included) was at the time practically begging and crying to have him write and direct the film since they knew no one else could come close. So he basically spat in the entire fanbase's collective face by saying "No, not only do I not want to do this I think you're all morons for even liking the idea."

No, sorry, if someone doesn't agree with you, it doesn't mean they're calling you a moron or spitting in your face. *sigh*

You should respect the fact that, for whatever reasons, James Cameron didn't like the concept of an Alien Vs. Predator movie, felt it insulted what had gone before and was inclined to see it as a cash grab. Just because you don't agree with any of that doesn't mean you can't respect his right to feel that way.

I'm a fan of both franchises and I would never beg nor cry for James Cameron to return to the Alien series. I don't understand that strategy at all; the movie that came out sucked, but it's not like any of us had to go see it (I only bothered because I had a free ticket), so what does it matter who ended up directing it?

If James Cameron didn't want to do it, the worst thing would be for him to direct it anyway. Then it would turn out like Sam Raimi feeling forced to squeeze both Sandman and Venom into one Spider-Man movie ....

Wouldn't that be better than if the studio just decided to make Spiderman 3, as written and directed by, say...uwe boll?

he still seriously lost some respect from me after that for just insulting something I and a lot of other people who seriously enjoyed his works, also liked, and were asking if he wanted to play some part in.

OMG when did Hollywood stop think and started copying, once they start they really don't know when to stop

They been like that for many years they don't want to produce something semi fresh and take a chance on a movie project that is not a established franchise like a video game a comic or anime series.
