J.K. Rowling is also the biggest selling author since the Bible.

I wonder if the original author has any say over casting. Of if there is enough furor over this that an organization like the NAACP would make a stink over the casting of originally Asian characters with Caucasian actors and thusly changing the character's race. I suspect that Sousuke will be renamed Steve, Kaname will be renamed Karen, the mecha and high tech elements written out altogether replaced by magic, and the film will take place at a high school in California.
This could end up as another Dragon Ball Evolution...

I'm not so worried about Eva though, since ADV [presumably] still holds the rights. Though, that movie's future may look very bleak indeed if ADV folds.

Not that I have ANY faith in this movie whatsoever, but I was thinking that adapting the first novel into a 90 minute movie could work fairly well. They'd get in their High School hijinks and then go on to the srs bznss stuff about halfway through the movie.Garridy wrote:Pwolf wrote:If they do end up getting this up off the ground, i would much rather see a darker drama closer to TSR/End of Day by Day.

I agree, a more serious anime seems like it would translate into a movie much easier.
