I wasn't sure if I should make a thread rather called:
'Western/Japanese animation adapted to live action movie list'
Or something, I see tons and tons of movie threads in here that get very little limelight, seems more efficient to bundle movie related things in sub genres almost.
Nonetheless, i figure like DBZ, this'll get a few old school otaku out of their retirement homes and back into ranting and raving, depending on how 20C Fox play this.
For now, I've a bad feeling tho...

Keanu as aloof, laid back Spike Spiegel?
Time will tell, i suppose....
On a mini side note of other old school animation being adapted or remade...
