They could do like the Matrix. Not so fast you can't see them fight, but fast enough to be explosive exciting scenes of choreographed martial arts.
^Look at it like this.
In the Matrix sequels and the Star War prequels, what was the point of doing them in live action when 90% of everything you saw was CGI?
If they have to rely that much on CGI, then it might as well be entirely CGI.
Note there was a reason why Advent Children was CGI and not live action, and it ended up turning out a lot better then it EVER would have with live actors.
You've got to look at it both ways. Yes, it could be the worst thing ever, ORRRRR It could be one of the best.
No, at best it be decent.
See like what's "the best" out there nowdays in terms of adaptions? Most people probaly say Spider-Man, X-Men, LOTR, and Harry Potter. Like I really doubt they could do it better then how the Spider-Man movies were handled or anywhere near as good for that matter, which is why I say "decent at best"
Look, the guys who are doing it, Its there job they KNOW what there doing!
You can't say that because you/we have no clue as to who is actually going to handle it, and/or in what exact way.
Note what directors out there do more adaptions then any other directors? Uwe Boll and Paul Anderson. Now look at the actual movies they did, and ask yourself how many of them were good or done well or whatever?
You should be taking every possible thing into consideration here, like the fact that someone like Uwe Boll or Paul Anderson will get to direct it.
Heres a good way to settle this, If your a Transformer fan you can watch that film when it comes out and decide if making Transformers into a live action film is good enough. Then we can use that, as a meter for if this day-in-time movie makers can handle a DBZ Movie.
No because Transformers isn't anything like DBZ, nor is it even an anime, not to mention it's a lot easier to pull off the DBZ would be. For starters 90% of Transformers is going to be live action, rather then the other way around. It's a very easy concept to adapt in comparision to DBZ.
I mean if any of the other animes that were going to be adapted actually ended up getting made then that be something to compare it to, but there isn't even anything close to DBZ that's been adapted into live action, thus it's kinda hard to give an example of anything by comparision.
Also even when you look at the anime stuff that was going to be adapted to live action (AKIRA, Ghost In The Shell, Ninja Scroll, Evangelion) it's all stuff that be really easy to do in comparision to DBZ (hell AKIRA, Ghost In The Shell, and Evangelion, for the most part have the same basic Neo-Tokyo setting, same type of technology, etc)
Maybe if a good live action Street Fighter movie was made, that might be a good stepping stone to DBZ given the similarities (crazy martial arts, ki blast, odd chars, large cast, etc) but we as of yet haven't seen anything like that.
Well, generally, I wouldn't mind if they made a movie inspired by the series, rather than put the name on it.
EXACTLY!
Just do something similar rather then just trying to change or adapt so much given all the problems that come up.
And if that works out well then maybe they could do an exact DBZ movie.
Everybody read this post three times over! Seriously. The "DUDE IT SHOULD HAPPEN LOL THANKZ TOM WELLING" posts and responces have been stabbed and gagged and pushed down a hill. ;P
