Wait, so is this a remake of the movie or the series? If it's the movie, I don't mind. I thought the movie was horrible, myself. Well, part 1 at least. After watching part 1, I had no desire to watch part 2, so I can't speak for that.
... yea ...

yea I agree it might not be so bad if they're remakes of the live action films. The shitty Japanese actors terrible acting is what killed the movies in the first place and made them unbearable to watch. Might be A LOT better if the acting and the story were improved. (Story was just terrible, how did they fuck up Death Note that bad? =/)

At least you can expect a more realistic looking Shinigamis thanx to a heaping helping of good ol' fashioned CG. :D

If it can make money, they will do it.

Let's see, how many times has an anime been totally redone, and had the letters TV added to the original title name?

Tenchi
El Hazard
Ah My Goddess

That was the first 3 that entered my head.

Anime also gets redone if they think thay can do it. First example I thought of is Bubble Gum Crisis. I prefer the last one 2040 myself, but friends consider the first to be better.

I didn't hate Live Action Sailormoon, but after the second show they essentially just started ignoring the original anime plot line and just wandered off to do it new basically.

Have not seen Speedracer, likely won't watch it either. Don't know how it connects with the original, as I never saw the original stuff.

I think over all, once I finish the Death Note anime, it won't much matter to me if they redo it to death. I have yet to watch any of the Tenchi stuff outside of the OAV stuff. Just didn't like it. I have not collected The Wanderers, because I felt El Hazard didn't need to be redone either.

I've really liked the Ah My Goddess TV stuff, but then I like the characters that much I guess.

Maybe Death Note fanatics will like the additional stuff, maybe they won't.
Anime, one of the few things about the internet that doesn't make me hate the internet.

I wish it wouldn't be that much about cat-and-mouse play this time =|

Unfortunatly this is what we are going to have to deal with since anime and manga has hit more of a main stream.
also if you haven't noticed there haven't been any "original" movies in a while, everything is coming from old comic books, not to mention the butchering of Speed racer, transformers, reviving indina jones, and yet another james bond film somewhere in the process.

I don't care, because I don't buy this shit. However, there will come a day when I will care, but until that day, the more shit corporations buy from Japan, surely the better our two economies will become.

Don't forget the new Street Fighter's live action movie coming out and all the other anime live action films coming out

Just a bunch of shitty movies that are gonna make us fans pay money too go see because where all gonna be curious if it sucks or not X_X

lol listening to <i>It's the End of the World as we Know it (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.</i> How fitting =l

Well at least all the great classic live action movies are being re-released and at like a $5 price :D Can actually spend my money on some good stuff and have fun watching great memorable movies. But then die inside when I look at the new movies coming out T_T

Its not like Death Note couldn't have been done live action in the first place. Remember when Perfect Blue came out? All the critics wondered why it was an Anime.

Whats the worst that could happen other than the actors not having the charm of their portrayed characters? because if thats the biggest problem than shit man....screw it! dont see it, as for me im hoping either the Pan's Labyrinth director or Tim Burton directs it (its just a shame Johnny Depp's not 20 again to play L)

That would actually be pretty perfect when you mention it.
