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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
