Starring Chloe Moretz
I have no nostalgia for Sailor Moon, but wouldn't that make the source material dumb as fuck?

So, whoever said Akira is the winner winner chicken dinner:
Jordan Peele, "Get Out" director, in talks to direct live action Akira film.

It can't be any worse than making them all white.

Why would anyone wish Hollywood on Cowboy Bebop
If Keanu is up for it, I'm up for it.

JoJo. Kira played by Mads Mikkelsen.

I don't think poverty and wealth has ever played a fundamental role in the story except maybe Ippo helping out at the fishing shop
I don't think Morikawa has even touched on the matter of Takamuras wealth since he became world champ, and contenders wouldn't exactly be swimming in money even in America

His creepy pervert humour about high school girls would never translate well into the west

Yuri on Ice. Isn't going to cost a good fortune and has internet popularity. Hell, handle it right, and you've got an Oscar contender on your hands.

I always thought you could make a really good movie out of Wolf's Rain. There's so much filler in the series that you could eliiminate it and make a very tight, fast paced, exciting, and emotional 2 hour story that stays true to core of the plot. Plus it doesn't seem to have a huge fanbase, yet alone a crazy fervent fanbase, that you could take plenty of liberties including the casting without it being under much scrutiny or comparisons to the anime.

I think its gonna be from a non mainstream manga/anime . Personally I would like to see pluto/21 century boys
or this.
leave my rubberman out of this

This would make the most sense, in terms of not only popularity of the source material, but also the fact that they wouldn't have to attempt to make any excuses for a lack of Asian cast members (they could still screw up and get called out for not casting someone Asian for Mikasa, though).
What...the hell. I had no idea that this was a thing, and am amazed that someone actually thought it would be a wise decision to throw money at it. I also can't believe that I actually managed to sit through the whole thing.
EDIT: And according to the description, that "someone" was Saban. Wow.

Yeah, it'll be rebuilt as power rangers for girls ... and I mean the current new movie power rangers, not even the old sentai shows.
Usagi will be renamed Sally and have the nick name Bunny , she'll played by a blond haired white girl.
Ami will just be Amy (short for Amanda) , they might actually put an Asian actress in this role (see because she's the smart one and stereotypes/tiger moms , etc ... ugh)
Rei will end up Erika or something and be played by a hispanic actress. No more shrine maiden backstory, perhaps her grandmother runs a small church
Makoto will end up being Mikeala and be played by an Afrikan-american actress because no other race is allowed to tall you see (again, ugh ugh on this but hollywood... )
Finally Minako will just be played by another blond haired white girl but her backstory will have her as a hannah montana type ... maybe she's from Europe ? french accent or something ? Re-named Michelle perhaps.
Guys... I'm sorry this is so horrible

It'll be something that was either made or localized in the nineties, because that's the current nostalgia bubble.
My bet is on either Cowboy Bebop or Sailor Moon.
Maybe Evangelion.

Del Toro confirmed that was dead at HBO like 1.5 years ago.
Maybe it can be carried entirely by China and Latin America.

And France. I remember having trouble trying to find Saint Seiya stuff on the internet circa 2005 that wasn't on French.
I would download a bunch of SS fighters for MUGEN, all of them would speak French.

Parts of Gods of Egypt reminded me of Saint Seiya
Oh yeah! how could i forget France, we owe them the cheesy intro that we all pretend we hate but secretly love!
Also going back to people pitching mecha shows...
Just a thought: Cinematic universes are in, so if they made like, gundam or mazinger or FMP! or Big O or any, ya all damn well know there would be only one possible outcome:
SRW CU
