Monster Movie
Im surprised no one put this up, this is about 8 months old I believe. Anywho, Josh Olsen will be screen-writing the Monster movie, based on the anime, for New Line Cinema.
Not much info, but more info here. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=6987 |

Hmm...so far by what you people are saying I'm not expecting to find this movie all that interesting. I love the current plotline that they have now and if they "Americanize" it I probably won't like it as much.
What exactly are they going to do in the movie anyways? Is it suppose to be a basic summary of Monster? If so I probably won't like it...a summary would leave out too many of the parts that I liked seeing (which was basically all of it) so I wouldn't enjoy it as much. So far...not really looking forward to this movie... |

How the hell does one transform such a complex and long storyline into a movie? That usually fails even with relatively short books. I'd imagine that the Mosnster plotline if turned into a book wouldn't be very short. I just see them going for the shock value and action while abandoning most of the plot and character development. There are too many key moments and some of them are bound to be omitted, unless the movie happens to be six-hours long or something like that.

Well in matters of time, yeah probably some of those parts were there wasn't much going on in terms of development of plot, will probably be cut or shortened. However it would be sad really since at least for me, those parts are what build up this complex story and made it more believable and great. It might be a very difficult thing to convey this story in a movie format, but I mean i don't think it will happen but if anything I wouldn't mind the movie being broken up into two or three parts, as long as the plot and all the essential details that made this story so great are intact. Though this probably won't happen since it would require alot of money and they would have to depend on the first movie to do exceptionally well in order to continue with the others. But well i guess we'll just have to wait for more news. One of the things I really would like to say is that i wouldn't want this movie to be filled with all that CGI stuff, I would like to see good old fashion stunts here, since there's not much to do they would have to focus alot in making those explosions look really great and real (especially the Library Fire part). Wow just thinking about how it could turn out its just so exciting
Oh by the way has anyone seen that commercial VIZ has on tv promoting the Monster Manga? haha I just saw it last night and it took me by surprise and it looks cool too. I'm gonna buy the first volume some time soon. I hope this commercial (and others perhaps?) really help MONSTER (and others) get more fans and more exposure. |

It's gonna suck. No offense to the Americans here (I'm an american too) but none of the white people will want to watch an asian male lead, unless he's doing kung-fu kicks. America won't pay to see some Jap or chinaman (did I mention I was an ABC?) doing something great.
Sorry if that sounds pessimistic but that is the truth of Hollywood, and America in general. |

i have read an interview with guillermo del toro (director of el laberinto del fauno/pan's labyrinth) who said he thought monster would make a brilliant live action miniseries for hbo, but that it shouldn't be made into a movie.

I actually think that would be a better Idea to turn it into a Mini-Series than a movie manly for the suspense factor and also how do you turn a 75 ep show into a 2hr movie? but on wikipedia it does say that the guy making the script will also make a seond one for a sequal so it ould be like 35 eps but still.
