Regardless of how GiTS turns out, it makes me think - has there ever been a hollywood adaptation of an anime that turned out any good? The only other thing I can even think of that's been adapted was DBZ, and, uh...

I think the capacity is there for good anime movie adaptions, it's just that it's incredibly unlikely to happen, but also would be very hard to rate favorably against the original like all condensed adaptions do. I think the best bet would be an original story set in the setting, instead of a straight adaption.

The original title was All You Need Is Kill, they decided that wouldn't work so they changed it to Edge of Tomorrow, but then since it didn't do mega hot when it came time for home release they re-titled it with the original poster tagline, which I don'tr remember ever happening before in film.  so the official listing on imdb and tomatoes is Live.Die.Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 22, 2016 |

Yeah, the obvious main challenge in a hollywood anime adaptation is the simple fact that anime is a niche interest, particularly in the west, and niche products simply aren't often going to get the budget they need to bring on the kind of talent required to handle the challenges involved in adapting a TV show into a movie - even without the difference in art style.

I think the reason they changed it from the original was because the people responsible for marketing this movie were recently coming off the awkward faux pas of having a trailer featuring a movie theater shootout run before Dark Knight Rises, so they kinda wanted to play it safe. They felt that the title "All You Need Is Kill" could be construed as directly promoting violence, so they changed it.

I never expected superhero movies to take off the way they did, but look at Marvel now. At this point I feel like anything could be good if the people behind it actually care about it enough.

Yeah, Anime movies totally could become a thing, it's just going to have to meet the same challenge that comics did and have someone make a really loving good movie out of what probably won't be the easiest set of building blocks. I'd kind of like to see someone try Gundam, someday.

I feel like there's more of an impetus to get that stuff in production now as studios look for anything that's already has some established name or interest around it. like GitS has been in development since 2008, but here it is

...Don't make fun of me, everybody else forgets G-Savior exists, too.  But seriously, the right director could totally make 0079 or Zeta Gundam into a kickass hollywood movie or two.

i think all they need to make a successful gundam movie is a decent budget and two very handsome actors to play the gundam pilot and a char.

I thought it was because "All You Need is Kill" sounds pretty drat Engrish-y and they wanted a title that sounded less dumb to native speakers. It's also weird that my parents recommended it to me, therefore making it a time where my parents told me about a good anime.

I would hope they don't Hollywood up the action scenes and make them colorless, too loud, and difficult to track. But I'm mostly just worried that this hypothetical gundam movie would go to Michael Bay.

Although it would be morbidly, tragically funny to see Tomino react to a Michael Bay Gundam movie.

imo i think more thoughtful 12-episode shows with no s2 or convoluted side material would make for better anime movies than big franchises like a hollywood anohana movie could be good.

The two live action Gantz movies combined are the best thing to come out of that series, in my opinion. That's not Hollywood obviously, but there's no reason they couldn't pull off the same. Even if history dictates the opposite.
