Now if that is not bad enough hasbro is going forward with the live action G.I. Joe movie.
The live action transformers movie makes the hand drawn cel cartoon, and movie make the live action a joke just explosions and bad actor cameo roles.
if this movie makes money similar robot or mecha shows from japan will be made into live action movies to bad american versions.
Live action Gundam, robotech/macross, and evangelion cannot be far behind.
Plus other japanese anime being optioned for ameircan cinema or actually being made, like naruto, battle angel by james cameron, ghost in the shell, astro boy, and starblazers which is really space battleship yamato. Hollywood for years has tried to get the right to do a big budget live action akira, i hope to god it does not happen.
