Hollywood to Rape Bleach

The latest manga to fall into Hollywood’s clutches is Bleach, with Warner Brothers set to release its version of the interminable series in 2014.
Producing the film will be small time nobody Peter Segal, best known for directing such classics as Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult and Get Smart.
He is said to be looking to branch out from inane comedy to supernatural action, and what better way to start than with a manga classic.
Most Hollywood adaptations of anime, manga and game titles so far have been critical failures, often antagonising fans of the originals by substantially changing the story and character of the work, though their box office performance has been more mixed. The chances of a Bleach adaptation bucking this trend seem remote.

Stallone must be rubbing his hands knowing he'll get the Chad role..
I don't care who's in it, as long as they find a role for Gary Busey.
Kenpachi Busey...
Hollywood producers:
Producer 1: "Hey, my assistant says this annie-may thing here is popular. It has cool costumes and action and shit."
Producer 2: "Sounds good. We need something to give our third-string actors and directors and writers to do, anyway. What's it about?
Producer 1: "Uh, I'm not sure, I just watched a couple of episodes."
Producer 2: "Doesn't matter, we'll write our own story, anyway."
Producer 1's assistant: (confused) "But why bother to base a movie on something that's popular and then ignore everything about it that makes it popular?"
Producer 2: "Who is this asshole? I want him out of here!"
Producer 1 to his assistant: "You're fired!"
Remember the sorry failure that was King of Fighters movie? I'm seeing the same recipe for making shit, being used here.
But hey, the author must be rolling on a bed made from money, at least. They must have paid him big for the IP, eh? Fans are gonna alienate the movie anyway(or watch it for some guilty pleasure).
I hope the movie or whatever the fuck their going to do involves drinking bleach and bathing in it for as long as it runs.
NOOOO!!! DEAR FUCKING GOD NOOOOOO!!!
Hey, they might actually improve it...
No, sorry Bleach fans - this shouldn't happen to any anime. I'm raging so much at talk of doing Gunnm, Cowboy Bebop, and Ghost in the Shell... and old talk of Gunsmith Cats. Why must I have the same taste in manga as movie directors? It just makes me wanna... *cough* not self-incriminate just yet. mmmfmmhmff...
Maybe they could get K-On right? Hmm... no, they'd miscast it worse than DoA. We'd be lucky if they weren't guys...

This is bad, this is very bad...
I can just see it now, it'll be like Dragon Ball. *gags*
Stop the preesses you are misunderstanding something here. They are not making a movie for Bleach they are making a commercial for Clorox using bleach.
Jeesus Christ,i got now idea how much this will fail,but it will fail for sure.
As far me,i dont wanna even imagine how much failure the actor playing kenpachi will be
Everyone asking "who'll be Ichigo, Rukia, etc.?" are doing it wrong. Try "Zack", "Linda", "Mick", etc.
Yeah, just like they changed Goku to Frank.
I wonder if they make a Rozen Maiden movie, japanese or american....
Meh, Hollywood.
Long live TMA and LINDA Project Parodies! XD
Where? :3
Yay ! Another adaptation that goes directly into the sewers woohoo !
Now the real question is: will it be as crappy as the others already existing or will it be worse ?
i'm going with the 2nd option...
There only 1 actor i can think of that could realistically play any of the Bleach characters and that would be Johnny Depp as Kisuke Urahara as for the others cant think of no one at all suitable
or Tony Stark..i mean RDJ
They say Interminable? It's gonna be over by the time this release in 2014. The manga is about to end, it won't get past 2011.
Naruto is the interminable one.
100% failed already....i hope 2012 comes
Thank the Old Ones that the world will end at 2013...
The Apocalypse is going to happen more sooner if Bleach is ruined by Hollywood snobs!
Very VERY Soon!!!
Let me guess.....the main character is an american drama-type highschool student who gains shinigami powers!!!
Ooh, and I can already see that it will be an old asian (not necesarrily japanese) wise man giving said american teenager his shinigami power. And the wise man also bestowed the american boy his special 'initiation' name, Ichigo...
Hollyweird is at it again. Desperate for money they troll the interlube to find what a small minority in America and the world really flock too at home. Buy the rights and throw writers who do teenager romps to cook up a story and Bam!
A horror is burned into the world. 'Dragonball' already had a massive history already so it did well.. sorta of. But 'Bleach' doesn't have that length of history to carry it into big cash.
MATSUMOTO-SAAAAAAN! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
It'd be like Avatar was, a primarily CG movie.
Next Next Movie: Naruto in Hollywood
Then the fail trilogy will be complete ^_^
I like the naked gun movies. But using a guy that's used to doing comedy to suddenly pull this off will no doubt result in failure.
Uh oh...
I don't particularly care, as I hardly ever notice what movies come out. I've missed some good movies in the last few years, but I'm not missing much for the most part.
I never liked 100+ episodes anime anyways. :l
great just another thing for america to destroy....
I wonder who are they gonna find to play people like Tessai or Chad where their heights are about 7 foot tall. Basketball players? Or Capt. Komamura. He is not just big in size but he has a face of a wolf. And he must be wearing clothes not naked like a werewolf.
this is gonna be uber retarded. There gonna get like justin bieber to be ichigo or something.....ffffuuuu--
Dear god.....we better hope 2012 happens, or we will have to see the birth of american ichigo...
Warner Bros of Japan was rensponsible for Death Note live action which was pretty good and Warner Bros is rensonsible for great movies based on comics and books like Harry Potter and 300 so I have a few hopes for Bleach. Either way I don't give a damn; I'll watch it anyway for the laugh with my friends since I don't like Bleach. Problem? *troll face*
Dragon Ball with bikes
Ichigo will be ron wesley
Ichigo, starring Seth Rogan
Rukia, starring some Korean idol
Too close in age and hair colour. Nah, Ichigo=Morgan Freeman. DUH!
WHY!?
damn bastards hollywood leave anime alone
i cant wait to see all the white people in this and like the one asian guy xD
Shia Lebouf is abviously going to be cast as Ichigo. Who other than the best action actor in Hollywood right? Right?
the best movie they can make is Code Geass, since Lelouch is practically from the New World land or whatever they call that.
...this has fail written all over it.
How about Chuck Norris as the Gotei 13 head?
so much win
THEY'RE GOING TO NAME ICHIGO "BOB"
Bob Smith.
