Anyway, what did you expect? hollywood is runing out of comic book adptions so now they are turning their cla... I mean their eyes to manga.
The one thing that irked me about this that I know the pearsonlty wise they will never get it right, they will replace every pearsonlty with the same old idotic stryotype they use for ever summer blockbuster...
Or has Uzumaki said, they will get Revees to play Spike blah...

I doubt all anime are going live action. I bet it's just the movie industry losing creativity and gathering material from popular already-animated stories from the East. See also: the remake of Asian horror/other genre movies.

Psh, oh well.
Anyway, I think it will depend on how bad the Dragonball movie fails (succeed? yeahright) as to if Hollywood feels like making another manga-based film. They'll continue with cowboy if only because it's already seemingly a sure thing. After that... it'll be anyones guess.

Manga is currently more popular in the US than American comic books so whether DB does well or not there's still many to adapt.

If he was so kittening eager to do something good with this movie, he'd leave it the hell alone.

He of the comforting monotone has hitched his wagon to 20th Century Fox's big-screen adaptation of the acclaimed Japanese anime series Cowboy Bebop, which is set in 2071, 50 years after a massive lunar explosion decimated Earth's population and necessitated the colonization of the entire solar system.
Thanks to greater than usual logistical issues, an elite team of Old West-style bounty hunters, or cowboys, is needed to keep the peace.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Reeves is attached to play Spike Siegel, a reformed criminal turned space cowboy and copilot of the Bebop, who, like a character from the actor's past, is well-versed in kung fu and other combat skills but is toting around quite a few personal demons.
No word yet on who's in line to play Spike's copilot, Jet Black, a onetime Inter-Solar System cop with a mechanical arm, but so far we're liking the whole Firefly-Battlestar Galactica-Bill & Ted vibe.
OH SNAP!

And if Naruto does go live-action (which it will eventually, sooner or later ), the series has to end first.
What's Happening with the Naruto series as of now!

But it's confirmed, Keanu Reeves is now Spike Spiegel.

Viz has already said they are planning to make a live action Nauto film. We can at least be happy that VIZ media/entertainment company will be making the films instead of the huge Hollywood companies like WB, Paramount, FOX, etc who are only in it for the money. Viz knows what fans want. They are planning to work with the Japan to make the film successful. Hopefully, the films will come out somewhat tasteful.
In regards to Cowboy Bebop, I really hate the idea of Keanu Reeves playing the lead role. I love the actor but why can't they just hire an unknown actor who looks similar to the anime character. I blame it on the producers.
Oh well, hopefully I'll hear more about this film at work or from other friends.

It's been what... 18 years since he went on his bogus journey? After Matrix, he's been Neo in every single movie he starred in. I've seen more lively people at the Roskilde festival, stoned out of their minds. Ay ay ay, this does not bode well.
After DBZ, I'll only let these guys live until they try getting their greasy fingers on the contract of a One Piece LA. That's when I'll pull on the Meanie-trousers |:| <- yeah that's right... return of the serious face! |X| <-Dead serious!

Do it Fox, Do it! :Spoon:
Steven Segal is also nearly 60 years old, an ego maniac and a fatass. He'd be perfect for Spike. *Sarcasm*

I'm sure it wouldn't be as bad as this now would it?
