User blog comment:Lemursrule/Warner Bros possible live-action Bleach film!/@comment-1591878-20100405055556

Bleach will never be the next Harry Potter. The biggest reason being though I hate to say it but bleach does not have as big a fan base in America to pack the theaters. As for Akira. It has been one of my favorite animes since i was a kid and it has a good plot that could easily transfer to a western audience. but if you've been paying attention to it's live action incarnation it was supposed to be done the summer of 2009. its nearly summer 2010. they've already had 4 scripts rejected but i guess thats a good thing because its a sign that warner bros doesn't want to put out crap. now its not even schedule for pre production until late 2011. The only thing about bleach that could be successfully adapted to a live action film is the core concept of death gods protecting humans from demons. they would change the locations, and character names in an attempt to help the audience relate to the characters. and that equals a shotty story line. The point is you cant compare Bleach to Batman, Superman or Harrypotter. Look how long it took them to turn batman into great movie franchise. I liked to older ones but the batman "movies" weren't great until batman begins. Now its documented that Kubo said he DID NOT WANT bleach to be live action. I only hope Kubo is a man of his word and doesn't sell out for the money. Because they are throwing insane amounts of money at him right now. (Also if you played the first two Resident Evil games you would know that the first two movies completely change the original story and according to the public and the all mighty dollar they Resident Evil movie trilogy got a big crap stamp)
