We were recently passed on the information that a Japanese Magazine titled Animage, in their current issue, announced that Fox has acquired the rights to the popular anime series SAILOR MOON and is looking to Joss Whedon to presumably write and direct a live action film. Further, they're hoping Miss Can't Keep Her Genitals Inside Her Clothes herself Lindsay Lohan will star alongside Jennifer Garner (as the main villain) in an all non-Asian cast.

Hmm. I'm torn. Joss Whedon is a good writer, but... american, live action sailor moon = :ick:
-
Joss Whedon? Are you ****ing serious? I give that guy nothing but my utmost respect, then he turns around and jacks off on my face with this ****? Anime should remain an underground cult phenomenon, so people like me who can't ****ing stand it don't have to come in contact with it. And now it turns out the tool who's doing the terrible deed is none other than the genius behind Firefly? This is like some kind of Ambrose Bierce story.

Sounds like a hoax personally....although remember that Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a VERY cheesey movie that Whedon made into something very cool. So don't shoot him down yet. He's taken crap and made it good before.
-
Yeah, but Buffy was HIS cheesy movie. Fixing someone else's mistake is very, very hard.
Especially when it's anime.
-
Christ Almighty, wasn't the friggin' Japanese live-action series a big enough disaster?!
I'm of two minds on this, actually. Y'see, unlike most of you, I actually liked Sailor Moon; still do. If they gave Mr. Wheldon a free hand, this could be the most amazing thing ever. I would have killed for Wheldon-style writing and fight scenes in the anime. And he can do it. He did Buffy, he can do this. One of the reasons the live-action Japanese version fell apart was the production values were crud, and nobody could recognize the characters anyways, since they originally looked Caucasian. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say neither of those would be true here.
Or it could suck beyond all reason. Unfortunately, Fox is unlikely to give Joss the free hand, being the TV Critics Employment Network, and in such a situation the depth of the resulting crapitude would probably be beyond mortal comprehension.
/me prays for a Super-S setting and Amara.

Just not another Fists of The Northstar...Please God....

Ditto.
eah, but Buffy was HIS cheesy movie. Fixing someone else's mistake is very, very hard.
I am not completely sure, but I think either Buffy's story or series was taken from both anime series "Ghost Sweeper Mikami" and "Phantom Quest", which have some similar points between them.
-
It's frelling Joss Whedon. I'll see it.
*turns Serenity soundtrack back on*

Well... like the Old Finnish Jungle-Saying goes:
"Anime leaves by beating." (Suom: Anime lähtee hakkaamalla.")
Sorry Joss, it's for your own good...! :rolleyes:

uh...

Not necessarily the worst idea in the history of time, but I can see other things he should be putting effort into...

I think you're all missing the really important picture here ...... Lindsay Lohan in a kinky mini skirt outfit ;7

I reckon Kate Moss is still stoned, look at those pictures...

Actually Whedons Buffy series was a TV series based on a movie called Buffy The Vampire Slayer, lets just say its very different, and very bad.

Sailor Moon Movie News False (2006-04-25 15:11:20)
Several news sites have repeated a rumor that the latest issue of Animage reports Lindsay Lohan and Joss Whedon will be involved in a Fox produced live-action Sailor Moon movie. ANN has verified that neither the April nor May issue of Animage says any such thing. Joss Whedon is currently slated to direct the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, due out in 2007. No cast details for that film have been announced.

Still, those short skirts, eh?

Muh...
Jesus christ, I think all this flu medication has done a number on me. Because, if I didn't know better, I'd swear this thread was about a new Sailor Moon movie. Live action. Starring Lindsay Lohan. Written by Joss Whedon.
I think I need to go lie back down.

And Firefly was based on Outlaw Star because both feature a girl in a box. Which button is the rolleyes smily again?

What part of HIS CHEEZY MOVIE did you not get? And I've seen it, it's not so bad. Could be a hell of a lot worse.

No, that's not fair, I am not talking about just one similiraty they have, anyways it's not based, but it has some point to compare, the important ones are these:
Ghost Sweeper Mikami: The Ultimate Vampire Slayer (1994)
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Just the title tells that the story goes around the same, here is a fragment of a review from the 3 series:
It's a great deal easier to get into Ghost Sweeper Mikami, which is actually an hour-long episode of a popular Japanese TV series from the early '90s. Mikami will appeal to fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In fact, the two shows are remarkably similar. Reiko Mikami is a mini-skirted exorcist who commands huge fees for kicking supernatural ass with the help of her staff, including a girl-happy, bumbling assistant whose primary function is as monster-bait; a patient and sisterly magic-wielding ghost; a scholarly priest who acts as the group's father-figure (no pun intended); and a good-guy vampire -- Buffy aficionados can match up the characters and decide for themselves whether or not the correlations are merely coincidental.
There is, however, one huge difference between Mikami and Buffy -- Mikami is strictly in it for the cash, possessed of an all-consuming greed that makes for real comedy in the midst of her battles with horrific beasties. In this installment, Mikami is contacted by the ghost of a feudal-era samurai, who talks her into combating the newly risen nosferatu he was unable to kill in his own time. The ghost sweepers find the vampire's resting place and are attacked, during which scuffle Mikami is scratched, her potent blood awakening the vampire. Before long, said creature is filling Tokyo's streets with zombies, indulging his acquired taste for exorcist blood with Mikami's competitors, and preparing to conquer the world.
Mikami is our last hope for salvation, if she can tap into the Love and Goodness within her. The problem is, she has absolutely zero of either. As Mikami was made for TV, the animation is a bit pedestrian -- on a par with your average episode of Sailor Moon, say -- and the comedy is somewhat broad. But the balance between the funny stuff and the scary stuff is handled so breezily that Manga would do well to acquire and release the rest of the series for Western consumption.
-
Ghost Sweeper Mikami: The Ultimate Vampire Slayer (1994)
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (1997)
The film was written by Whedon in 1992 so even if one was copying the other it would be the other way round anyway.
Whedon can write good stuff but it's also worth remembering that he's also responsible for Alien: Resurrection :rolleyes:
-
Indeed, but Serenity more than makes up for that debacle. :rolleyes:
-
But this could drag him back down again.

matter of opinion :rolleyes:

:lol: indeed, i don't get this whedon worship, personally, i mean, serenity was good and all, but, as you said, Alien resurrection was quite bad, depends on how one does things, really, did a poor job of aliens, capped off firefly nicely, turned a campy movie into a successful series (in terms of time aired, and spinoff), etc, etc..
-
ROFLMAO!
This is almost as funny as Snakes on a Plane!! :lol:
Oh, and FireFly >>>> Serenity
I saw Serenity before I saw Firefly, but I thought FireFly was much better. The film felt a bit forced... a bit rushed...
Man... if only I could have traded Serenity in for another season or two of FireFly!
-
Aw, damn. For a second there I was getting amused with the idea of psychologically scarred girl and nephlyte in live action, and that geek who decided he wanted to be tuxedo mask and started throwing shrimp at monsters.
-
But this could drag him back down again.
He fails once out of how many times? Statistically speaking he's not likely to fall in the toilet again.
-
True but if you look at why Alien Resurrection was so lamentable it was largely because it was a bad concept to start with what with Ripley dying in the third movie and all.
What's the first thing everyone has said about this concept? See?
-
I'll concede that point, at least so far as everyone else goes.

shoulda gone with an entirely new cast, instead of the quasi-lazerus schtick.
-
Eh, I'm of two minds on A:R. If I just take it for what it is - a straight up action movie with space monsters, it wasn't half bad. I actually thought Ripley 8 had potential, and her and the ugly dude would've made an interesting couple.
If I try to take it as part of the series....well, man does that suck. Aside from requiring suspension of disbelief stetched way far beyond what I was willing to (especially considering that the 'we don't add ray guns for no good reason' was what I liked about the series in the first place), it just didn't work well. No WY, and it's missing the human aspect that helped the other movies out so much.
-

GS Mikami movie is from 1994, the series is from 1993, both series and Movie is based on the Manga, from 1992, the same year. There is no way not a real way to tell which was first, however, if the Manga was based on a novel or in a book, it would mean it's older...The same goes for Sailor Moon and most anime series
-
Could be worse, can you image a live action version of Harvest Moon instead?

...okay, now you're scaring me Flip.

Bwahahahaha!!!

----------------
Now, I remember, there was a Dragon Ball Live Action Movie (called something like "Dragon Ball: The Legend Continues"), I don't remember if it was some kind of parody or the movie overall was so cheap that it ives that feel, anyways that brings me to SM...
The real news is that there will be a Live Action Movie made by the US, because there is already a Japanese Live Action Movie of Sailor Moon.
I would post the link to the videos, but I don't want to ruin anyone perspective of SM, even if good or really bad those videos can have quite impact of some WTF!!!. If someone want to see it just go to www.youtube.com and in the search box write "sailor moon live" without quotes (be sure that it says Videos next to it), I am not responsible for the damage it may cause to the seer.
Again for some reason a lot people opinnions about Lindsay Lohan representing Sailor Moon says something like:
"I dont want an aneorexic chick who sold her soul to the disney channel"
Well, here are some related opinnions (have fun reading, some people feel really pissed):

I basically got as far as the end of the intro (I rented it from Blockbuster...spent money...let's just say I've never forgiven myself) before my brain rebelled.

Wasn't that the one where they had the talking cat doll and the 80's special effects? Only a cruel, horrible mind could have thought that thing up.
-
Well, you could be describing either the live action Sailor Moon series or Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Although in the case of Sabrina you have to give the cat a little bit of credit...he is the longest-lasting animatronic character in the history of television. So you're probably correct.

I don't know, I would like to some Live Action scene of Mr. Satan's parody in Cell's Tournament...

Well it could be worse, with bad luck you could have just rented a weird horror video with a psycotic drowned little girl that kills you in 7 days... :lol:...(you know for some reason I stepped in a Japanese vs. US production)
If you already see it and suffered the consequences, there is no reason to be afraid of a Harvest Moon Live Action Movie...I just see a screenshot of the Sailor Moon Japanese Live Action Movie and get a feel like "My spidey sense is tingling!": "you shouldn't watch this, no matter what..."

The problem that Lindslay Lohan, as it is claimed in reviews "She slept with all Hollywood", and even if she is a good actress, of course this can be argued, anyone who know her personality won't ever be able to identify her role as the role of Usagi (Serena), as she was a blonde innocent teenager who fights for justice and blablabla, and Lindslay Lohan simply doesn't have any of those qualities...

I really ought to look up that Last Starfighter musical, but I can't be bothered...

Been there, done that.
But it doesn't count as a movie, that's a game for the Philips CDi, those days, the days Nintendo mistakenly left the developement and alliance with Sony to release the SNES CD, in order to join with Philips, I am glad that happens, Nintendo is partiallity guilty of the existence of the PlayStation series...
--------------------------------------
If it counts as ruins good series...then a Full Metal Alchemist Live Action movie, could do it...if done wrong...OK, I am bored so I'll start writing all the Japanese Live Action production Movies that were made, or are in already announced, from games or animes:
Ace Wo Nerae (Aim for the Top)
City Hunter
Dragon Ball - The Magic Begins (see, there is already a movie): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kw3wnE7CKw&search=live%20action
Fist of the north star (Korean) (Hokuto no Ken)
Full Metal Alchemist OVA (seems good)
Gatchaman
Giant Robot (old mech here)
Great Teacher Onizuka Live Action 2
GTO (Live Action) - Driver's High
Hikaru no Go
Inital D
Lupin the 3rd
Marmalde boy
Neon Genesis Evangelion (US)
Prince of Tennis
Punch-Out (yes remember the game, this one goes with Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing)
Saikano (Saishuu Heiki Kanojo) (seems good)
Sailor Moon (JAP) (WARNING: may cause brain meltdown)
Street Fighter (JAP, or City Hunter fragment?)
You Are Under Arrest
I am tired, the list goes on, but there is already enough crap material to sent the viewer to a certain death...
----------------------------------------
Well, the worst case of US movie broadcasted on TV based on a JAP concept that I could recall, it is Street Fighter, it just screwed the series for all eternity...they were drunken when they decided to make that abomination...(they try to fix the damage with the game based on the movie...but it was too great to be solved that way and blablabla)
In the otherside the Japanese Live Action Movie of City Hunter is made by Jackie Chan, features a parody of Street Fighter and it's old classic arcade game :lol::

My friend has that movie on DVD. God, the first time I saw that I didn't know wether to weep like a baby, or gouge my eyes out or both. I've also seen it under, ummm, an influence shall we say, and wow was that interesting, and I think it makes this thing even better. In what way, I don't really know or want to repeat. But hey, feel free.
