Lupin III Coming to Hollywood

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the here's-hoping dept.

Secret anime ninja writes "A story in today's Toronto Star says, "Master thief Lupin the Third, a comic book hero in Japan for more than 30 years, will soon make his Hollywood debut." The story goes on to say that it's been optioned by the producer of Minority Report, Schindler's List and Jurassic Park." Lupin III is currently airing on Cartoon Network and several Lupin movies are available on DVD. Castle of Cagliostro, directed by Miyazaki is a great movie.

  1. But will it be lost in the translation? by Wino · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    When the producers port it from anime to movie, they will need to work hard to keep the essence of truly good anime... 1. 15-minute-long, psychic S&M duels. 3. Recycle the same footage over and over, should save production costs for live actors too! 2. Use YOUNGER actors to play OLDER characters. 3. Use the latest CGI special effects to enlarge the actors' eyes at least 30%. 4. Random fictional product endorsements. I guess real product endorsements will do. 5. T&A

  2. News? Nerds? by gray+peter · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Honestly, not a troll, but who cares? Is there really nothing more interesting going on today than news about a cartoon? How is this geeky or tech-oriented? Does this character write cobol or something?
