    I'm skeptical of game-movie adaptations as the majority of them tend to suck. Although I didn't mind Resident Evil and Prince of Persia looks to be okay judging from the trailer - but these are exceptional.

    I will take my hat off to anyone who can make a good movie based on the popular game of scissors-paper-rock!

    Kill two birds by making it an Alex Kidd film, epic battles to the death via scissors-paper-rock!

    Akira is in the works as well, I just hope they do a good job of it. Apparently they were to be turning the 6 volumes into 3 movies, but I haven't heard much more about that.

    There was also talk of a Ghost In the Shell movie too, I heard they were going to focus on the "action" rather than the philosophical questions about human and machines though. In my mind this would fit under things that should NOT be turned into a movie rather than vice versa. I'm sketpical of Hollywood turning any Manga which has some complexity to it into a movie.

    I'ts about time James Cameron got started on the Battle Angel Alita movie, he keeps wearing that Gumn t-shirt afterall. if anyone can get it right surely Cameron can.

    Assuming you mean live-action...NOOOOOO!
    There is/was (hopefully was) a live-action Ghost in the Shell Spielberg was looking at - after the mockery that was Aeon Flux I just want them to leave it anime. Ninja Scroll and Battle Angel Alita would be alright, maybe even cool, but if it's at all philosophical please just leave it alone Hollywood, there's enough fluff for you to adapt already.

    Also, I dare Michael Bay to make a live-action Uroksukidoji.

    ...but that would kinda take away the whole point of Ghost In The Shell. That'd be like, making a Transformers movie without transforming robots in it!

    IMO the best live action film adaptation of a manga/anime was Casshern. SBS recently played this film.
