*approaches with caution*

The link doesn't work by the way.

Scary idea, for one I doubt that it would look right in live action (hard to convey the same feeling) and they will of course murder anything conected to the story.

Yikes! I dunno how well that would turn out.

That bad.

Get Smart and 50 First Dates director? Oh f*ck! D:

think of it this way there is no way it will be worse then dragon ball evolution

this is no worse than a live-action adaptation of say Inu Yasha (hypothetically speaking) or Akira, which according to the articke WB has already acquired rights to make.

Warner Bros. is “in the process” of acquiring live action rights to create a film based on Tite Kubo’s Bleach manga. Viz Media has published 30 volumes of Kubo’s ongoing Bleach manga here in the U.S. (Volume 31 is due out in June) and is also releasing the Bleach anime, which is produced by Studio Pierrot, here in the States. The Bleach manga has reached 43 volumes in Japan, while the ongoing anime series includes more that 260 episodes so far.

The Bleach manga has been a constant presence on ICv2’s “Top 10 Manga Properties” list for years and the Bleach anime is currently running in a prime spot on Saturday night on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Segal, who directed Get Smart and 50 First Dates, is in negotiations to produce the adaptation along with Viz Media through Segal’s Callahan Filmworks. Warner Bros. has also acquired the rights to create a live action filmg based on Katushiro Otomo’s Akira (see “Hughes Brothers Helming Akira”).

Bleach is the story of a teenage boy, Ichigo, who can see spirits and who meets a female shinigami (Soul Reaper) named Rukia. During a desperate struggle with an evil spirit known as a “hollow,” she transfers her power to Ichigo. Having lost her supernatural powers she is stranded in the human world, while Ichigo must undertake her duties escorting souls to the afterlife.


there is the article.

i also question what they would put into a live action movie, it seems unlikely to finish the Rukia Retrieval Ark, because of so many characters, so it seems likely they will have the climactic battle of the Menos Grande and finish with the but kicking by Byakuya. But that means no Kenpachi untill a possible second which would be a let down, as a sequel would hinge on it actually being sucessful. That is unless they try to create their own story. Just as long as they don't have any Bounts.
