Jerry Bruckheimer? Irony is dead and we are dancing on its grave. Platinum Dunes jumping on Yu Gi Oh has to be next... The only Hollywood animanga adaptation the world needs is Zack Snyder´s Fist of the North Star. Or Robotech by let's say Christopher McQuarrie. Wait, I got another one. Baz Luhrmann´s Saint Seiya! Wake me up when these happen. Beyblade? Lol. I needed something to laugh about today. I guess this was it.
Edit: Ok Hollywood. I get it. Bruckheimer developed National Treasure and well Moses Parts The Sea With a Beyblade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATS4CGQC4AY WTF, I love Bayblade now? |

I’m sorry…Bruckheimer?!
Honestly, I needed a good laugh today and here it is. I’m sure that with only the faintest knowledge of the series someone else could explain why this works better than it appears at first glance, but wow. |

It's really hard for me to imagine a live-action Beyblade because basically you'll be expecting a "real" version of the anime that takes Beyblade so seriously and the Blades will probably still be CGI unless they have "real" Beyblade matches instead of anything as dramatic as the anime.

I'm more or less expecting this to be about the same as the live action Battleship. |

Cringe movie tie-ins are their own reward. Hard to top this one but they will try.

You uh, quoted the wrong person, but yeah. Sometimes the real gem isn't the movie but the weird toys that come after. |

Hey, now. That Battleship movie is glorious. If this movie ends up anything like that one, I'll be thrilled. |

This is a weird one because it could be an over-the-top kind of movie like battleship or it could be a simple coming-of-age story featuring Beyblade: The Actual Toy but either one sounds really freakin' boring for a live action adaption. The whole reason Beyblade works as a story is because it's animated, imo. Even Yugioh would make more sense to adapt, weird as that would be.

While I don't have a problem with a Hollywood live-action version of "Beyblade,"I'm not sure that Jerry Bruckheimer is the right man for this job. What we're going to get is probably some exploding Beyblades or something like that. I wish they got someone who actually understood the franchise and would actually do a good job with it. Although I don't really mind an American version of "Beyblade,"I don't think that someone like Jerry Bruckheimer should be anywhere near this thing.
If they had a Japanese-American beyblader in this as a salute to the franchise's origins,I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'm just not sure that Jerry Bruckheimer should be anywhere near this movie. I don't know if something like that is a good idea. |

This is the same guy who produced the National Treasure movies. the Pirates of the Carribean films, and funded Bad Boys.. I'm pretty sure we're getting the former. Also, anywhere we can stick Nicolas Cage in this? |

God, why? I never even watched Beyblade as a kid, but I'm a film nut so I know all about Bruckheimer. He is NOT going to gel well with anime.
He was already in the Astro Boy movie. Even he probably wants a break. |

Eww, no. I guarantee you if Zack ever get's his hands on Fist of the North Star he'll make a movie that resembles the manga on only the most superficial level. Meaning he'll capture the gore, the hyper-masculinity, and the apocalyptic aesthetic but will completely leave out any of the compassion or heart. So no the world absolutely doesn't need Zack Snyder's version of Fist of the North Star. We already saw him butcher Superman. |

The funny thing is depending how Bruckheimer handles it and decides to lead into the absurdity of the franchise we could end up in a timeline where Beyblade got a better live-action Hollywood adaption than Cowboy Bebop did.
