Hollywood Grabs Ninja Scroll & Full Metal Panic

Please tell me this won't happen.

As long as they're able to keep the goodness of anime characters and the story, IF they can.

Ugh, this is just so fucking wrong on so many levels. Are they tring to piss me off? How dare they try to ruin FMP like this! And Zac Effron...ohh, that little bitch...I hated that kid enough as it was. FMP is one of my all time faves, and this is just unforgiveable!

ninja scroll is just awesome,
i am excited, just hope they make it rated r like the anime.

There is some hope. There was reported sightings of Zac in Akihabara and I think he reads Death Note.

There is a chance it might not be so bad. It all depends on Zac's though.

If...
1) Zac's level of knowledge goes beyond Naruto and other stuff like that
2) Zac has enough influence over the production

then there's a chance...

OH FUCK YOU HOLYWOOD FUCK YOU WHY ZAC EFRON HE IS SUCH A WUSS -.-

DO NOT WANT!

Someone please tell me why, in the midst of all this "Hollywood grabbing anime", with Fox killing Dragon Ball like they tried to kill the X-Men, Keanu grabbing Bebop (in what, scary enough, seems to have the highest upside), DiCraprio grabbing Ninja Scroll (and don't forget Akira), Zac Efron starring in FMP! (they will have to change all the names, since there's no way it's going to be set in a Japanese high school), and Cameron still taking his time getting around to Battle Angel Alita, that the single most logical, single most made-in-heaven, single most oh-my-God-that-would-own-all Hollywood + anime match remains unexplored?

Tarantino + Black Lagoon

Tell me that wouldn't kick every kind of ass... And as big of a Hong Kong action otaku as Tarantino is, you wouldn't have to worry about the cast being "whitewashed"... Well, except for Eda... Mmmm... Ali Larter in a nun's habit...

FUCKKKKKKKKKk , FUUCKKK YOU HOLLYWOOD, STOP SCREWING WITH THINGS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION. IF YOU WANT TO RELEASE SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AT LEAST DON'T ASSOCIATE IT WITH THE SOURCE MATERIAL BECUAUSE 99% CHANCE YOU WILL SCREW IT UP

Another DB:E. *getting that torrent ready*

Oh great~ Now we have a military schoolboy dancing with cheerleaders and basketball players in the school basketball court instead of kicking terrorists' arses..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Him again... Not that HS Musical guy...

I will personally bitch slap Efron if he turns Fmp into a musical.

Furumeta has good potential.

Perhaps the moviemakers can consider sourcing Japanese acting talent for the roles?

you do realize that April fools was last week right?

so it is gonna be packaged as crappy teen movie just like DragonBall. He was always different but didnt know that he was different. Sagara Sousuke has survived wars but can he survive *record scratch* High School.

I am of those that think that the 2D should continue being 2D and never should cross to the other side where the dimension that is added is known as "FAIL"

Sean Connery is too Old guys. How about Adam Sandler as Sagara Sousuke?

He was middle-eastern & hilarious in Zohan! He's the best American for the job!

Take ur pick

-
DiCaprio has a higher chance of impressing us. Fingers crossed.

hmm the ninja scroll sounds like it'll work out good.
on the other hand, fmp looks to be a disappointment if those rumours are said to be true.

It's funny to see all the haters even before any more details come out. Let's at least get a few more details before we pull out the cyanide tablets, eh?

But I definitely saw some posts with some thought behind them, especially when it comes to the humor value in FMP being Sosuke, the raised-by-wolves military fanboy, bringing heavy armaments to school. In Japan (where guns are prohibited), that's so ridiculous, it can be funny. In the US? Columbine + Va Tech means it won't be funny, period, even if they set the school in Japan.

So I don't know how they can complete Sosuke's character without that humor. Maybe they can substitute some other off-beat stuff in an American high school setting? Hopefully, they'll find a good tsundere archetype for Kaname. That was so much of her charm, IMHO.

Ninja Scroll can totally work. I've always liked Leo as an actor (esp in Romeo and Juliet), and I think he can do a pretty good job with a ninja/samurai flick set in a historical Japan.

Ciao!

There should be a law against hollywood sullying anime. Screw you hollywood, screw thou!

Zac Efron. What the fuck.
Western rape of anime at its finest when HSM fans go see a FMP for Zac Efron.

FMP I can dig because of the mecha.

wut?
sousuke become like that?????
wtf...

let see what disaster next

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Anything with Kimura Takuya is always worth watching... but Hollywood adaptation with Kimura Takuya? Cannot compute.

In another news, FUCK NO to the FMP adaptation. Haven't they done enough with Dragonball? :(

Don't want.

I wish they'd stop raping anime like this.

Zak Efron!!!!
No No No No FUCK noOOOOOOOOO
NOT FMP, dont fucking let him go near it

Now where is that F***ron assassination I've been hoping for?

Zac Efron

No.

Zac Efron fuck no.

ummm, I'm gonna have to go with FAIL! I think its gonna just end up like dragonball...EPIC FAIL!

what the? a Hollywood FMP w/ that gay HSM Zac Efron as Sousuke?? they are totally gonna ruin this it would be much better if they put Mr.T disguised as Bonta-kun instead

Oh god no not zack lol i hate the guys guts enough as it is but to trample onto an anime i like is going a step too far.

Zac Efron must DIE.

Who said Dragonball Evolution was a success, yea it was a success to people who doesn't watch dragonball before, but for those who does, it's TOTAL FAILURE.

I would have to disagree for an artist from Hollywood to star in FMP, at least an Asian looking american is fine,but no not whites, it just doesn't match -_-

Hollywood should keep their hands out of the anime

I'm still in a state of shock that they are mentioning "DBE" and "success" in the same sentence. That makes NO sense WHATSOEVER. I bootlegged the movie and the screwed it up in the first 10 minutes. I refuse to admit it was even slightly good. If this is the path for good series, I don't know what I'm going to do.

they are going to ruin full metal panic!! ninja scroll is somehow acceptable since they put in japanese cast. western cast is just unacceptable especially for asian like sousuke sagara

Tom Cruise as Sagara Sousuke? I bet Scientology will be involved...

Man, this is almost as bad as the Code Geass live-action film starring Shia LaBeouf as Lelouch and a green-haired Megan Fox as C2.

Goddamit Hollywood! Leave our anime alone!

Hollywood must stop making movies from anime.
Just take a look at the Dragon-Ball z they tried to make. FAIL

this is fucking bullshit!!! fucking holywood!!!!

FMP live action by Hollywood will work 'IF' they're using an all new character (from another branch of Mithril maybe, NA Mithril?).

Jindai High School Musical?

Instead of Wildcats, Bouta-kuns...
