I don't know if this topic brought up, but here it goes...
I was reading (a long time ago) a news article (from a newsletter that I receive from the website Loop, I think) that FOX bought the right to do a live action movie of Tsubasa, I don't know it it is true (and I doubt if it is), but maybe they did it because they think that Tsubasa is going to be a hit, when it reaches the United States.
Personally, I think Tsubasa shouldn't be made into a live action movie!! Imagine how lame it would be! Ugh! -_-
What do you think?
-
I don't really care. The anime is pretty much dead to me, and nothing Bee Train, or any other producing company, could do would change my mind. It will never be better than the manga in my opinion, and there's really not much reason for me to continue watching, except for my overwhelming curiousity of what kind of ending they'll have. -_-
-
Ah, no! It'd be too weird for me. x_x; I rather they didnt....
-
i've never seen a live action movie but i know it's reputation so i hope they don't make one , the anime is dead already...why can't they just let it rest in peace?!
-
Ha ha, I doubt they'd ever find anyone tall and lanky enough to be Fai or Yuuko! XD So I doubt it'd work.
I mean, I was against the Sailor Moon live action and I ended up loving it, so maybe this wouldn't be AWFUL, but with Mokona I bet it'd be weird.
Although it'd be interesting, I doubt it'd be good! XD I'd watch it, anyway, though! XD Just to see what happens! XD
-
I don't like the idea. I don't like it when anime/manga get made into live action. I dunno I just feel like part of the magic gets lost when it becomes live action.
Although I have heard that the Death Note live action movie is good and will probably see it at some point as soon as it gets subbed.
-
No, and no. Especially if it's with American actors. I think IÂ discussed this with a bunch of people in IRC, when we first heard about it. Some anorexic teen idol would play Sakura, Jesse Mc-whatever (that dude from Summerland? *shrug*) would play Syaoran, Fai would be just plain.... not pretty DX, and Kurogane would be either too old, or too caucasian.
I won't even begin to describe the horrible disaster that Mokona would be.
Since anime isn't exactly the hippest of hip, in comparisson to rap, for example, it'd be low budget, so it'd look ridiculously fake, as CGI is more expensive than a manga autographed by CLAMP. (note, I haven't confirmed this, so who knows. xD;;;)
The japanese might do a better job than us stupid Europeans and Americans, as it's based off of something extremely popular there. Then again, CGI is still expensive, and it could just turn into a series of cut-corners, similar to what seems to be happening to the TRC anime. ~_~

Don't be that way, I know Bee Train has done some horrible fillers, but maybe...I hope...that maybe the anime could get better...Maybe... :dodge:
-
I think it wouldn't work. Properly rendering the settings would use up the budget on its own, let alone the inter-dimensional travel, strange creatures, magic, fighting, things getting blown up, and, you know, actors to play all those characters. Live-action just couldn't deal with the huge element of fantasy.
-
No actor could play Fai. There isn't one that is as beautiful as he is! Â :hello2: And Kurogane, mmm...no one can play him either. :hehe:
-

Not in my opinion, and while I would like to discuss this, I'd be getting off topic. I'm going to start a thread so we, and hopefully others, will continue it there.
-
There's so much that a live action movie just can't convey properly, such as facial expressions and the physical appearences of the characters (look at how small Sakura is in comparison to Kurogane, for example) that I can't see a live action movie being overly sucessful. Though, I've been proven wrong before, so if it's made I'll watch it with an open-mind.
-
unless CLAMp is FULLY invo,leved, NO. imean, have you SEEN what Saban tried to do to sailor moon !? now, the japanese La version of sailor moon was pretty good....
NO COMPANY has THE RIGHT TO MAKE A LA VERSION OF AN ANIME WITHOUT TEH aUTHOR!! [oops. sorry bout caps ^^]
-
Live action movie sounds cool as long as the story is faithful to the source. fantasy elements are not a problem with the aid of computer effects. However, i would still prefer a live action musical. I like to see sakura syaoran kuro and fai singing.

*tries to picture a powerful ninja like kuro singing X-3*
a musical wouldnt be such a ad idea. Sailor Moon has dozens of sucessful musicals.

[off topic]
A powerful ninja singing? I've seen clips from Azumi, Naruto and Bleach musical ( those titiles had lots of powerful ninja and samurai characters in the story) and it turn out to be decent. But don't worry chances for having a musical is low because its not a shounen jump title.
[/off topic]
-
I don't think anyone's good-looking enough to take on Syaoran's role. *cough* Eh, If they are going to hire anyone other than Japanese to act, I don't think it'll be convincing enough... And where are they going to find someone with black hair and red eyes? And even if they do, that guy will look... weird... o_o; It's just that certain things that look real nice in the anime/manga may not be appealing in real life. >.< Like a manjuu-shaped bunny.
-
^ right, the eyes would be the hardest thing to master. kuro has beady red eyes, fai has LaRGE blue eyes, and sakura has bright emerald eyes :S
-
No actor could play Fai. There isn't one that is as beautiful as he is! :hello2: And Kurogane, mmm...no one can play him either. :hehe:
Viggo Mortensen as Kurogane would work. Orlando Bloom as Fai too, now that I think of it. And Elijah Wood as Syaoran. On that note, the entire cast of LOTR fits the Tsubasa thing so well. XD Except for Sakura. I dunno who will play Sakura. XD
-
Red eyes don't show up well on film, it's too difficult to capture emotion in them and they end up looking weird. That's why in the Harry Potter movies, they didn't give Voldemort red eyes. So if there were a TRC movie, I doubt Kuro would have red eyes. [/film major mode]

Oh no! Viggo Mortensen is far too ugly for Kuro! *gets beaten up by the Viggo fans* And Orlando Bloom is too manly for Fye, IMHO.
I kinda want to see it, just to see how bad it would be. xDD The Bleach Musical, the Prince of Tennis musicals and the Death Note movie both look great, so you never know, it could turn out all right.
-
Ewww.. no !
-
Orlando Bloom as Fai!!! Ewwww -_-
-
I don't think there's an actor alive that 's pretty enough to play Fai.
And I agree with you, Airashii, Orlando Bloom as Fai would just make people go, "ZOMg LegolaSSss!!1!!"
-
Ohmygawd, NO! *faints*
(But if someone has to play Fye, maybe Gackt? *gets bricked* Just a silly thought... *hides*)
-
Ohmygawd, NO! *faints*

XD XD XD Ha ha!! Isn't Gackt's voice a litte manly? XD Imagine GACKT saying "Hyuu!" Although it'd be entertaining, I doubt it'd work.
Heh, the only existing person I've seen with proportions remotely like Fai's is Miyavi. And anyone who has seen Miyavi knows Miyavi CAN'T be Fai!!! XD XD
Kuro: Shut up, you annoying mage!
Miyavi!Fai: Miyavi desu. *rocking around with his ADD*
Kuro: *blink blink*
Miyavi!Fai: Miyavi desu. *ADD continues*

lmao, that's hilarious :hehe: I don't know much about Miyavi (I'm not so much into VK, y'know) but it sounds like Kuro would be just as annoyed as he is by Fye.
And I thought of Gackt mostly because of his hair. But him saying Hyuu... *snickers*

Well Miyavi is spacy and hyper and weird..... Well, with just that description he sounds like Fai, but trust me, he's not like him at all! XD Because he's also immature, egotistical, and... and... MIYAVI.. There really is no way to describe him.. Truth be told, tons of people hate him for all of his negative traits (there are many), but frankly he's so pretty I like him anyway. And although he's pretty, he's got too many facial piercings to be Fai! XD
And which Gackt hair were you thinking? XD Are you thinking of Vanilla PV hair? Because that's the only Gackt hair I can think of that looks at all like Fai's! Ah, actually Malice Mizer Gackt's Le Ciel hair looks MORE like Fai's, it's just gotta be blonde..
But hey! You guys know who would make a good Syaoran? Kinya! XD XD *runs away before she's attacked*
-
for fai i saw this CD on sale at walmart, but i forget the isnger's name, but his picture: the perfect shade of blue eye4s and the closest thing to fai's hair style. (it would just need a bleach job to be fai's hair color) toobad i dont remember his name -_-...next time i go to the muisic section at walmar5t ill tell you
-
I think it wouldn't work, Seeing T
-
I think it wouldn't work, Seeing TRC Characters being played by live actors will only dumb it down and make it very Cheesy. A very big no no to that live action movie. but hey, that's only me.

What do you think?
I just can't imagine that. I could barely imagine it, but it would be just plain chessy.
-
I don't think so... look at Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. XD It didn't look great in my eyes...
Tsubasa would be plain weird. o.o;;
I agree qith Rekall red eyes don't look great on screen...
-
Really? I thought PGSM was good... granted, it wasn't catchy at the beginning. But the actors were great and they did a great job and I applaud them for that. In a sense, at least they didn't ruin Sailr Moon's name. They did garner new fans... my only problem with the series would just be Luna. But that's going off topic...
A live action series might work... we might all be complaining about tiny details, knowing us, who like to compare to the original work. Something like, "Kurogane's eyes aren't red" or "The guy acting as Fye isn't good looking enough" or something like that... but if the storyline is done well and the actors acted well, the series would be enjoyable. That was something I've learnt from PGSM. It may be nothing compared to the original series, but it's still possible for it to be entertaining.
Though if it's American... -_- I still have doubts over Americans doing something that's from Japan. No offence, but so far I haven't seen one decent show that the Americans adapted from Japan.
-
Luna was a plushie. o.o;
Okay back on topic. If it was a live action... there would be tons of strange effects. XD ex feather going in chest and the first episode. lol Like this show I used to watch that was so corny... people flying everywhere with cheap effects. XD It was so funny. But Tsubasa won't be like that.
-
i would definitely like to see Tsubasa in live action. it'd be interesting to watch :keke: plus i'd like to see who'd play syaoran and sakura

I agree with that Americans can't really adapt japanese things that well..... and I AM American. :sweatdrop:
I would see it if it came out, if to only see who was cast and how bad it is. But i hoped it doesn't..... It would sorta wierd. I mean just stike to Anime people! its preetier :XD:
-
I agree, I would entirly ruin the plot and all, If the Japanese did it then maybe... but Americans WILL ruin it !
-
No....I don't think it would work out. I love watching Japanese/Asian live action, but for this story and this material, it SO wouldn't work out. We can say all we want about finding actors, but when it coems down to it you usually never get both talent and looks in one package when comming off of an anime/manga series. Its either wonderful talent, but looks very little like the character: even different hair color or height, Or they look very similar to the character but their acting sucks and its impossible to take them seriously. Dramas(series) are usually well made, but the chraters never really look like the characters, but the acting can be wonderful. I just can't see them doing a great job on special effects......
*off topic*
Yet, I was completely blown away by Ryuku from DeathNote!! *faints*
-
kool that wouldn't be a bad idea XD, *mumbles* i bet i'm the only one saying this
-
I think I'd watch it if American's didn't act it out. I'm definitely interested in the IDEA of a live action movie, but I think the entire time I'd be cringing cause it wouldn't be the voices or people I'd know. Then I'd watch it again and be like "Hey, that wasn't so bad..."
It depends on who acts (and to the Miyavi thing HAHA I KNOW WOW.)
EDIT: I LOVE MY FRIEND. She suggested Changmin from Dong Bang Shin Ki as Syaoran. <33333 I could see that Ignoring the Korean-ness.
-
NO!!!Thats what I said!!
Why does want to make as live-action movie???
The anime has special features......
And if want to make live-action movvie,who will be the main 5 characs???
Talking bout main characs,who will be Mokona???
This anime,if gonna make as live-act movie,it will need many actors & actresses!!
And....the location.....many location lah.......
Kudan!Cross time dimension!!All this will need a very,very special graphics....
And...I think the 1st ep they will not able to continue it....
About the place,cross time dimension & many more!!Especially the magic one...(duh,dont know what name it is)The circle when they arrive in Yuuko's place...
Really hard to make it.......
Urgh,too long...What do you guys think bout mine??
-
Unless this is officially announced by clamp, we have nothing to worry about. I remember reading an interview, and they were asked if they were ever to make one of their manga/animes into a live-action, they would choose chobits.
And even if they do make it into a live-action movie, god knows how disappointed the Japanese fans would be. They would have a better chance finding Japanese people who come close to fitting the character, than Caucasian actors that look nothing like 'em.
-
YES! If japanese people did it, I would watch it! But Fai, he looks more american, you know with being blond and blue eyed.
-
It would be cool if Tsubasa turned into a live action movie, but personally I live live actions are not usually as good as the originals
-
No. i definately not agree. it would be weird. :(
-
I think I would like to see a trailer for it, but I don't think an entire movie would work. Y'know how you see a trailer and you think, "Holy god, I must see that!"? and then you do and you were sort of like..."Hrm." and then have a lot of complaints...? That would be TRC live action.
The no red eyes thing would piss me off, you'll never find a man as gay and manly as Fai...nor as pretty and I'd probably HATE Sakura. She'd be one of those stupid twins who are famous for...being anorexic. I'd really love to see it done by a fantastic anime crew. Maybe...Naruto and Sukisyo. Loveless was a pretty good anime too. I <3 them so! Just get rid of Bee-Train. They are the worst.
I've tried for ages before to think of good actors for TRC, Orlando Bloom = OMGZ HELLZ NO!, and I knwo the rock is a big wrestling dumbo head, but he wouldn't be too far off for Kurogane. Maybe Brad Pitt....smoking body...good actor....he's got the hair....smoking body...
A girl would probably be best for Fai. *thinks of possible women* Erm....Christina Ricci? She has no boobies.
-
Ever saw this video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=w5_BsVvARLk) on YouTube about another person's opinion on who should act for the live action? It's quite amusing... Especially what the person chose for Yuuko. XD Lol!
-
That video's casting of Syaoran made me want to cry. :XD: Just... no. (And something about the way she spelled 'through' annoyed me to, but that's irrelevant.)
If they were going to cast it using american actors, they'd have to find some great unknown faces, for people to be able to take it seriously. Maybe that's just me, though. :/
-
As of yet, I only know one live action CLAMP movie, and that was Tokyo Babylon, and its wasn't that bad, the Japanese did it.
Now is Tsubasa where to be Live action, I think it would be a good idea if it was under the right director, and CLAMP at the heels saying, "you better get this right or else..."
hehehe
Well for the casting, Syaoran would be Chinese, Sakura Japanese, Kurogane Japanese, Fai Russian/American/ Any blonde haird blue eyed person. Mokona, could be a computer animated doll or be a puppit.
-
seriously, no
everything just seems wrong when they do it live-action, yo
-
Well, true, in live action you dont get to apreciate the funny faces they make in the anime.
-
Ah, I think It is very bad idea... Replacing Shouran wIth the real actors..... I cannot imagine It....
Admin edit: No mix caps please, post edited.

Tsubasa will not be live action, it was simple musing. The only CLAMP live action movie was Tokyo Babylon.
