| The Wu-Tang Clan are known to be anime/manga fans. One of their [official] music videos is basically a Speed Racer AMV. RZA also does the music for Afro Samurai, and they are featured in the Tokyo Tribe2 soundtrack. Here's a vid of series creator Santa Inoue and main musician MURO going to NYC to record it. Gackt gets MAJOR props from me for doing a music video that takes place in a destroyed Gundam. OH - almost forgot. I'm pretty sure that the band Daft Punk are fans since they used [original] anime characters in a few videos for an album video and then went on to use those same characters in a full-length motion picture called Interstella 5555.

| I'm surprised nobody mentioned this, but Jason Mraz? Apparently, he's one...? I just remembered that the Barenaked Ladies might be fans. In their song "One Week" they sing: "Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon 'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes That make me think the wrong thing" 1) Those are pretty random lyrics to just throw in...even for them. 2) This song came out in the 90's...back when only anime fans knew what the word "anime" was. Another bit of assumption on my part, but considering the fact that Rosario Dawson is a huge comic geek and Vin Diesel is a well-known D&Der, I don't think it'd be too far off to say that they might be fans. BTW - aren't Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, anime fans?

My my quite the angry little lad are ya? Jumping to conclusions like a bloke still in grammar school. Well the Zac Efron as Light thing was never a Hollywood idea, Warner Bros had their eye on Chase Crawford or Ben Barnes for the role as "Luke" last I checked. The Zac Efron bit was actually the fan pick because of how similar they look. I like to think its because Efron is a fan of the manga itself and probably based his casual attire on Light. As for his acting ability well he's untapped talent but he hasn't done much outside of his type cast so no one can say for sure if he's a good pick or not. Unless you happen to see him audition for the part. Personally I think Ben Barnes is the far better choice. As for Keanu Reeves well its not so much "Hollywood's Cowboy Bebop" more over "Keanu Reeves' Cowboy Bebop" since he's practically the only person in the entire production that wants to do this film and pushed both Fox and Sunrise to go through with it. I'm sure both people in the production and many others wouldn't have Reeves as their first choice for his wooden acting but no one can say for sure if he'll be a horrible Spike. |
| Death Note is a series that Hollywood can actually adapt. It is not that hard. As much as I dislike Zac Efron, he would make a good Light. Given that he actually tries and gets in a crazy mentality, he could pull it off. You guys are acting like Death Note is some holy series. The Speed Racer movie was good, so king that assholes. DBZ is a really rare case where it was just terrible with not redeeming qualities. |

My my quite the angry little lad are ya? Jumping to conclusions like a bloke still in grammar school. No kidding. This is the same kind of person that would have blindly complained about Michael Keaton playing Batman, and yet he's considered one of the best Batmans ever. I hate when people make a blanket statement based solely on the fact that an actor has only played one type of role. Zac's only 20 or so. He has plenty of room to grow. He already looks like Light and he's a fan of the series. That's 2 bonuses that would make me want to choose him over somebody else if i were directing because I know he'd be dedicated to doing it right. Jeez...just look at Bruce Willis, Robin Williams, & Tom Hanks. They all started their acting careers in comedic roles, but they're also respected as great dramatic actors as well.

| Lots of bashing on Hollywood anime adaptations I see... In my opinion, I like anime to stay as anime, and not be adapted into live action films. I mean, when it's anime it's obvious how unrealistic it can be, but anime can pull that off and still be a fun movie. It's harder to make an anime adaptation though.. I haven't watched many anime adaptations though, but the first time I saw DBZ as a live-action film was... Interesting <.< I don't think I'll criticize the movies just yet since they aren't out yet, but I'm not planning to keep my hopes up for Death Note or Cowboy Bebop. |

DBZ is 100% what happens when Hollywood touches anime. I should have said anime adaptation. Actually pretty much the only good adaptations they do are books and comics. They should stay away from anime and video games. Now now calm down boy, don't get all cross. I understand you think Hollywood is some big giant entity that torches anything it touches. But sorry to tell you this, its not. Its a series of people and politics all working for different goals and interests. When an adaptations goes awry and comes out like shit its not cause of one giant monster like you think it is. Its because of multiple reasons, crappy budget, horrible script, bad acting, and director's or production staff that really don't care about the project and throw on anything to it, just to name a few reasons. Lets use Dragonball Evolution for example, the only other American live action attempt at a Japanese anime (the other being Speed Racer obviously). Fox is known for having a money hungry group of big wigs in control (which is why most of their shows get canceled and a lot of their movies are really cheap and poor adaptations of popular franchises), during the Writers Strike they hired some cheap no name writer to do Dragonball because all the good writers (IE the Writers Guild of America) were on strike. Fox didn't care so they didn't listen to the golden rule of "Don't put have non WGA writers write anything for you" and got some horrible writer to write Dragonball for next to nothing. Ben Ramses (the writer) didn't watch Dragonball at all, he was paid to write another shit script knowing next to nothing about the franchise. Fox didn't care they just wanted it done, put into production, and count the money they'll make. So the shit script is done, time to get a director attached. How Fox does it? They pay some director known for a couple average films to do it regardless if they like the script or not, James Wong. When a director is forced to do something he doesn't even like the quality of the production will drop severely. That's why Spider-Man 3 turned out so awry, Raimi's ideas were thrown in the trash and he was forced to used Venom, a character he thought could never work as a primary antagonist for one movie. All because Sony should have just let Raimi do his work instead of butting their noses in. Then comes the cast, Fox just rinsed and repeated what they did for the director in this case. The entirety of the cast (except for James Marsters who acts like a complete twat at times) hated the script and it showed in their acting. But when you're a relatively unknown actor trying to get work you can't say yay or nay to whatever role comes your way. Unless you're trying to be a professional homeless bum that is. Now then you have a horrible screenplay, a director that knows this movie will fail, and a cast that agrees. Add them together and you get a bad movie. This is why many adaptations fail because of one or more of these reasons. Usually the screenplay though. And its not just America that fails to these problems. Hong Kong and Japan have both failed at this many many times. Like Hong Kong's upcoming King of Fighters movie, that was doomed from the moment they hired a director (who is a brilliant martial arts director might I add) that didn't even know KoF was a video game. How bout how Japan botched up Sukeban Deka with that 2006 remake. Or the multiple Hong Kong attempts at Crying Freeman, all terrible. Even Japan treats some of their most beloved franchises like garbage like the Kamen Rider franchise or when Sunrise had that horrible G-Saviour movie put out for the Gundam franchise. Now when the production team has a level head and actual shows at least an iota of care in the production then the adaptation will turn out well. Lets look at Iron Man: A screenwriter that was very familiar with the source and very experienced in writing. A director that knows how to treat the source with respect and what the movie calls for. A studio and producer that knew which director to pick and let them do their creative work as well as giving appropriate funds. And finally a cast that was not only full of pretty damn good actors and actresses but a few of them (namely RDJ himself who reads Marvel avidly) were incredibly familiar with the source and their characters and knew exactly how to play the role. Its very possible for an anime, manga, or video game adaption to turn out like that, look at Dragon Tiger Gate, Initial D, Cutey Honey, or Mortal Kombat. Its naive and childish to think its impossible. Its just that most people don't treat the adaptations with the same amount of respect as how most novels are treated and some comic books are. And the Speed Racer movie, while a very quirky movie with a plot that has its fair share of problems, was very close to the source. Which also had a pretty terrible plot and even worst dialogue. Can't blame them for sticking as close to the source as possible, but sometimes the material calls for straying away just a wee bit. The biggest thing out of that movie would be the fact that John Goodman and Susan Sarandan were really giving their A game for a C movie. |
