Option 3: It's a premise that works fine by itself, but Hollywood will find that one director that will fuck it up badly. I'm not gonna argue about how they handle American franchises, because the end result tends to be all over the place. But we're talking here about a Japanese series that's usually taken seriously, and most know already how that usually ends up like:

I think that a lot of people forget that although they have memories of Dragonball Z being this:



it was really mostly just this:



You CANNOT compare Evangelion to Dragonball Z, especially in the argument that you are using, as Dragonball z was never really a serious show to begin with. It often relied on retarded humor and stupid storytelling devices to drag out storylines even in the source material.

If you start out with shit for source material, you're going to have a shit movie when you are done, especially if you try to emulate the original show.

regardless, my argument works for either evangelion OR golion. I could also argue that voltron is a westernization of a japanese property, just like transformers was, and transformers turned out fine. that would destroy the "japanese property handled by american director = failure" idea. aside from american's handling it, lots of japanese properties have become half decent movies. the weirdo casshern live action and even the death note trilogy come to mind immediately.

According to Entertainment Weekly, they are expressing interest in making a CGI movie of "Ant-Man" with Edgar Wright writing the script, assuring that it'll be next on the agenda. Ant-Man first debuted in 1962 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The idea is yet to be finalised... http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a176259/pixar-eyeing-ant-man-movie.html Pixar did quite well with The Incredibles, so the possibility sounds pretty good. This feels like a bad idea to me though. Wasn't Ant-man a wife beater and had a 'being small' complex? Removing those characteristic might hinder the character. It may come out good if pixar is going doing it though. well see. Well that was added kind of late into the character and was a bit over the top in the ultimates take. I think a hero with shrinking abilities that has an inferiority complex is a good idea and I think it can be done without wife beating.

when wqe say "ant-Man" are we talking about Hank Pym or Eric O'Grady?

an Eric O'Grady as Ant-Man would be a fun Disney film.
