A live action UY film?
« on: April 16, 2009, 08:49:44 PM »
How would you envision it? Who would be cast in the title role?
The one change that should be made is Ataru's birth date from Friday the 13th to Guy Fawkes Day! ;)

(This is my first post here)

I don't think it would work out. How would Lum shoot lightening from her body? How would Ataru run all those miles? How would they hide mallets in their pockets? UY is just too complex to make something like that. If it's a movie or a series in TV it's different because there's special effects and computers and all that.

My opinion, though.

I can see them using special effects for the lightning stuff. Something similar for the running too.

Remember this:
Anime ≠ Live action

for some reason movie adaptations don't seem to convey what anime does.

Although there are strong rumors that they are making Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy bebop movies  :D

I just don't like the characterisation... (I think it spelled that way ;D ) Piccolo looks like some guy from Star Trek and Goku... why did he have to be a "white guy"? At least they could have made Shia Lebouf star as Goku... XD

I DO think they should have been given the entenas.

But as for Goku... actually I have a feeling I'll rant about this movie a lot so Ima gonna go make a topic for it. See you there.

Amen to that

We really do not need any UY live action film,what we need is more anime episodes/movies (there has been an anime revival stage on Japan lately these days,UY deserves to be part of it)

Exactly. ;D

If there's time and money to make a UY live action then there's time and money, for more mangas, episodes and movies. :P
Signatured postponed until I cba to make a new one. x.x

Some time ago I had the chance to see some videos about Maison Ikkoku-Live action movie...

...oh, my... :'(

...the only character quite similar was Soichiro, the dog!

...I strongly hope they will never try to destroy the name of my favorite anime...  :(

...I love summer sun...

We need a TV remake, not a live action movie.

i agree about the fact that it would be better if they made more episodes, movies, etc, but i'd like to see the character who will play as Sakurambo. :D

I think it would have to have more of Sakura in it, she is my favourite character and she isn't used as much as she should have been in the original anime.
