Can Hollywood Make a Good Live Action Anime? - Anime Vice Roundtable
  • 9 years ago
The Anime Vice team gathers for a roundtable to try to figure out if it's possible for Hollywood to make a good live action movie based on an anime or manga.

Scarlett Johansson is set to be the lead in a live action Ghost in the Shell movie, a live action Naruto movie is in the works, and properties like Akira and Death Note have been floating around Hollywood for years. The question is after debacles like Dragon Ball Evolution can we trust Hollywood to do these amazing stories justice?

What does the disappointment with the live action Attack on Titan movie mean, since that was made in Japan? Live Die Repeat (aka Edge of Tomorrow) was really good even if they strayed far from the plot of the light novel, so should that give us hope? And what about Speed Racer?

Do you guys think any Hollywood studio can do anime right? Are you hopeful for any of the upcoming adaptations? What Japanese live action anime adaptations do you think are the best? What could Hollywood learn from them? Can a faithful adaptation be profitable at the US box office?

TELL US EVERYTHING!
