'Tiger & Bunny' Live-Action Hollywood Film Announced
Brian Grazer and Ron Howard (Imagine Entertainment) have partnered with Sandy Climan and Annmarie Bailey (All Nippon Entertainment Works), and Masayuki Ozaki (Bandai Namco Pictures) to produce the film. Imagine Entertainment's president Erica Huggins will oversee the new film. The director and screenwriter have yet to be announced.
"During the deal talks, our chief focus was to ensure continuing involvement by the original creators to maintain quality and flexibility which would allow the original work to continue," said Ozaki.
Tiger & Bunny is an original anime by Sunrise that aired in 2011. Satou Keiichi (The Big O, Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis) directed the anime. It also received two anime movies.

Hollywood does well with superhero concepts, and Tiger and Bunny has a great one. Hollywood did well with Edge of Tomorrow, which was more of a very loose adaptation of All You Need is Kill if anything. If they can do with Tiger and Bunny what they did with All You Need is Kill, it should be fine.

If we see a re-imagining in the same sense as All You Need is Kill this could actually be pretty good. But I feel a big reason for this series in particular being used is the current superhero trend, so its also possible that this is being done just because it is something that hasn't been done yet, meaning there might not be very much effort put forth.
I am excited, yet very concerned.
All You Need is Kill was quite good, with non-cg mech suites & the plot.
T&B might work if they focus on comedy & campiness, like a long ad for sponsors, but it's tough to pull off.
Attack on Titan 1 was pretty ok as a sidestory for the campiness.

If they get good scriptwriters they might be able to do this. MAYBE.

Meh, I was hoping for another season rather than a live action film. Most likely will not be watching unless I read some good reviews about it.
I don't want this shit.
GIVE ME SEASON 2
Let's feel together guys.
