quirestiWhat is up with all this?::
And I quote:
"Although anime is becoming increasingly popular as a cinematic medium in its own right, its immediate future may be reflected in forthcoming live-action films. Following the pattern set by the recent release of Gore Verbinski's The Ring (2002), which was based on Hideo Nakata's 1998 film of the same name, much of anime's influence in Hollywood will be in the form of reworking previously existing anime titles for a Western audience. Reportedly, Twentieth Century Fox has acquired the rights to produce a film from the Dragonball series of anime and manga, Warner Brothers will remake Akira, Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem for a Dream) will direct a remake of Lone Wolf and Cub, Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious, XXX) will direct a remake of Kite, James Cameron wants to direct a remake of Battle Angel Alita, and a (hopefully non-cringe-inducing) version of Ninja Scroll will be made by the producers of the Mortal Kombat films. However, the news of the summer has to be the announcement of plans for a live-action Neon Genesis Evangelion film, a synergistic collaboration among Gainax (the original creators of the animated series), A.D.V. Films (the producers of the English-language version) and Weta Workshop (the special effects studio co-founded by Peter Jackson and best known for its work of the Lord of the Rings films). "

I shudder at the thought of a live action version of Battle Angel Alita. But then, I shudder at the thought of the animated BAA. Bad ending! Bad bad ending!
Oh well.
For all those out there who think I'm dead:
I AM NOT! *bleeeeah*
Anyways, Mom is coming home Sunday and, Damn it all, she's bringing David back with her. I tried to convince her to leave her in L.A. but....sigh.
So it looks like I may be doing a genealogy project for my Granda...helpful suggestions? Anyone? Anyone at all?
I'm feeling very lonely this summer. Very lonely. I blame all of you. ALL of YOU! Mwa. You bad people, you.
I bought the Cowboy Bebop DVD on the Net. It should be arriving any day now. Any day. *drums fingers*. Yeah. But really...little old guys!! Eeeeeee! I fangirl them. Muchly.
And now I depart before my grammer ges any worse.
