Attack of the Blog The Loop: Hollywood Loves Anime
Posted By: Eugene Morton - Thursday, April 17, 2008 11:25 AM

Hollywood is going anime crazy. There are a slew of live action anime adaptations in the works, such as the forthcoming Speed Racer, the rumored Ghost in the Shell and, unbelievably, Akira.

While fans of the source material may see this sudden interest in anime as long overdue, we all know that tinsel town operates in cycles or waves. Is this new trend in movie making just a passing fad? Furthermore, will these kinds of films resonate with mainstream audiences?

To answer those questions, we’ll welcome Film Editor for USA Today, Scott Bowles.

I don't know, I rather have it that Hollywood would just come up with some original ideas. Besides I think it would be for the best if anime was still anime and not some live action rip off.

Anime is just that. Anime. But if they screw up GITS I will totally loose faith in Hollywood.

I think it's a great idea! Akira and host in the Shell rock! I'm not a big fan of the other two. The only problem is I would like to see them make a move about "Bleach" That is an awsome anime. "Death Note" Would be another awsome movie. Hollywood could make a move of a life time or make a horrible move. Also Kevin, all anime lovers don't hate the sun. And Olivia you rock!
