Re: What series do you love that isn't but should be a live-action movie/mini-series?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that there's any series that's fundamentally unadaptable, given the right person adapting it and sufficient money. There are definitely things where it's statistically improbably for it to ever get made with enough money and creative freedom to be good.

Personally, what I wanna see most of all is a BBC live-action TV series of The Dark Is Rising. There's no reason at all that couldn't kick ass.

I dunno, I think some stories are optimized for their original medium and wouldn't really work well, without even considering money and creative freedom. First, take a lot of video games - they pretty much invariably flop as movies. A classic RPG lauded for its storyline, say, Final Fantasy VII, would be a mess in live-action form. Part of the "story" relies so much on the sense of advancement and accomplishment on behalf of the players, exploring on your own loads of dungeons and gleaning details while you do. Maybe if you made it a long live-action series, but fundamentally, I think something would be lost in translation unless you seriously rework the plot (which inevitably alienates fans, no matter how sensible the changes may be).

Likewise, I think some things "work" in anime and comics that would be less believable irl. I find my suspension for disbelief is much higher in anime, because on merit of being cartoon, I'm mentally able to throw out a lot of skepticism because the rules just feel different. Some things can be beautiful or fantastical in an anime that just would be cheesy or too weird in a live-action setting.
