Sounds like the movie is coming. What do you think? Leave it alone or could this be cool?

If they make it, I won't be able to resist watching it, as was the case with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I mean, a movie would have to be great with Chow Yun Fat, legends, and martial arts, right? I couldn't stand the movie. I hated seeing the actors pulled around by wires, it was like a Peter Pan nightmare. Or those creepy old movies where Aladdin is riding a magic carpet, with the scenery whizzing by. It just ruins the mental imagery for me. I wish they would use actors or stunt doubles who are skilled in marital arts, and use them doing their thing without the wires. I would also be concerned about what the demons are going to look like, esp. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. They will be covered in makeup, and wear those totally unreal looking long, white wigs. I think a "fairy tale" is most fitting to animation. I know I will be in the minority on this, however...

The first link goes to a reprint of an April Fool's Day article (see the first two comments...) and the second goes to a rather nonsensical listing on the Adult Swim IY boards, hardly the bastion of breaking news.

So...um...try again?

hence the reason i said SOUNDS LIKE. This rumor has been going on for a while. Whether it's true or not i don't know. There HAS been an Inuyasha live action play (or musical not sure which-it was Japan only). I was wondering what people thought.

Its a horrible, horrible thing if America does it. I hate dragon ball but the first time I saw the commercial for that, it made me gag because the actors picked didn't even come close to what little I had expected. Now if the movie was done in japan with japanese actors...that I'd watch.

If they do Inuyasha, you have to wonder who'd they cast as Sesshoumaru...I'm afraid that they'd do such a horrible job on the characters, Especially Sess, I'd just automatically gag each time the memory of the movies 'Sesshoumaru.'

I can't imagine any actor that is popular here in the states playing him or inu...I think it'd be more about the special effects than anything.

the can always cg inuyasha and seshoumaru. i just watched a preview of james camerons avatar and cg has come a long way. it would prob be the only way to do it without some phony looking actor in a cosplay outfit.

I hope they don't make such a movie, and definitely not with American actors. I would make a point of not seeing it, because I know it would never live up to the actual story. I've never seen a movie that was better than the book, or the anime in this situation.
