During a Q&A session in an online forum, the alleged current director of Your Name's live action adaptation heavily implied fearing for his life if he said anything about it publicly:>I think I would get black bagged if i said too much, but I will say its NOT NOT happening.https://archive.is/Ni55FList of directors/scriptwriters who worked on Your Name live action before giving up on it:>Eric Heisserer (Arrival, The Thing)>JJ Abrams (Star Wars, Star Trek)>Lee Isaac Chung (The Mandalorian, Twisters)Alleged current director:>Carlos López Estrada (Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon)
>>287122153>that listHe dodged some bullets.
>>287122153>get the most normalfag writers/directors possible to do a silly anime bodyswap storybut why
Why do we even need this.Half the appeal of these films is seeing what the animators chose to animefy.Giving it a LA is missing the entire point.
Why would you make a live action adaptation of a cringy animu romance flick 10 years after all the hype is gone. This shit is the definition of fotm.
>>287122276It's probably made for money laundering.
>>287122276>>287122283normalfags dump their money on live action hype pieces
>>287122283Delusional. Your Name is still massive everywhere. It's one of the best movies of the century.
>>287122283>"fotm">has been popular for several yearsAt least call ti "fotd" if you like retarded abbreviations so much.
Live action adaptations are as cancerous as putting ai slop into anime
>>287122276Yea, something like A Silent Voice could work in liveaction, but the freedom of animation enhances it way too much and the current state of VFX would cheapen it so much
>>287122153Why the fuck would he be killed for it?
>>287122153>>287122276We need it becauseOUUHHHHH!!!I SPENT 30 YEARS WATCHING THE SAME THING!I WANT IT AGAIN!!THE ANIME WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS!!
>>2871229165 Centimeters per Second was amazing. One of the best films in Japan last year.
>>287123167>made by a Japanese studioI'll trust them to do their best to be faithful. I would not give any mysterymeat mutt from the westcoast an ounce of grace to be faithful to the source and present something worthy
>>287123167See that i can understand but this one isn't even using Japanese actors, so at that point wtf is the point.
>>287123225Every "anime" not produced by Japanese is just a cartoon
>>287122941The jewish producers wouldn't be happy about it
Didn't they reveal it was going to be set in America and replaced all it's shintoism with native american beliefs?Lol.
>>287123763oh yeaa, I remember that shitshow
>>287123763>>287123808That was one of the original pitches. It was discarded by JJ Abrams and Marc Webb though, before they had to fuck off to produce Star Wars #67 or some shit.
>>287123946for the better, the average burger probably knows more about shinto than native american mysticism
>>287122153This is a complete shitshow. Almost a decade in production hell. Shinkai should just fly to Hollywood and tell all these mfers to fuck off
Only HE can save it now.
>>287124768He's a fan of Kon, not some overproduced melodramas
>>287124768Chris Nolan is a fucking hack who owes his entire success to his quasi-nameless brother carrying him with superb writing.Chris is so fucking retarded he didn't understand the "live long enough to become the villain" line in TDKR
>>287124768
>>287124912>He's a fan of KonNo he isn't lol
>>287124768>>287124979Holding the trophies like that always looked weird to me. Like it has a base, hold it there.
>>287125260That's how the Epstein class holds phallic objects.
>>287122153holy shit just give it up, no one is going to watch it. normalfags don't care and weebs are going to hate it.
>>287122283I don't think you understand what "fotm" means
>>287123992I know about Kokopelli because the people around these parts really like his design
>>287122276We don't need it, but Your Name was a big enough hit in 2016 that it caught hollywood's attention and someone immediately grabbed the rights for it. I imagine that a big part of why its in development hell is that on closer inspection they can't figure out a way to fucking do it. Your Name is an *extremely* Japanese film, and I don't mean because its an anime. The entire story hinges around a framework that depends on local shrines dedicated to specific local gods with their own unique beliefs being a thing that you can just accept and brush off. There is no American equivalent to this, but also without it you lose the connective tissue of the movie that actually tries to explain anything. Your Names second half also builds on a history of natural disasters in Japan to the point that people take it for granted and it can just be mostly forgotten in a couple years, whereas we had one bad hurricane New Orleans in the US and talked about it for the next fucking decade. The deeper you dig, the more fucked it gets. Eventually all you are left with is "a boy and a girl swap bodies back and forth in their sleep" and everything else is lost, they would have to make up the rest from scratch. That or you can make Taki be american but have mitsuha still be in Japan, but that introduces its own problems because now the distance is *too far* for them to go searching for each other and the idea that they would ever meet up again afterward by random chance becomes downright silly.
>>287125713I'm just not low IQ so I understand the exact length on time a work was hyped for isn't the point. The only thing that matters if people (the fans) moved on. And in the case of this flick they very much have.
>>287124768Okay, so, I'll get shit for this... but I don't think I would hate a Nolan version of Your Name. It would absolutely be a different film. It wouldn't be a romance at all, he doesn't do romance. But the bodyswapping/memory loss/time travel elements of it actually crosses over a LOT with the themes that he clearly likes to work with, and he knows how to build a movie around a central twist that recontextualizes everything you thought you knew about the film.Nolan version of Your Name would be more more concerned with exploring the 'mystery' of whats going on, and probably would have the romance as only a perfunctory element, but it would probably be a well directed version of the story at least. A Nolan version would at least have some saving grace to it, unlike a JJ Abrams version which will be just slop for a paycheck.
>>287125888I unironically think it's a better time to adapt it than it was from 2016-2022. In this post-woke era they could actually keep all the core body-swapping concepts intact. Whether or not it would be good is entirely another question though.
>>287125888It's true that it's in production hell because they can figure out how to make it good but it's not that not because >contrived melodrama with supernatural bullshit 'murica>:^|>contrived melodrama with supernatural bullshit japan>:^OIt's because the movie is written like absolute ass. It only hits shiteaters in the feelz because people inherently accept more bullshit (anime silliness) when its a cartoon as opposed to live action.
>>287126204Oh yeah, because Inception and Interstellar make a lot of sense and don't have any plot holes.
>>287126204> I watched this movie while playing games on my phone. I'm pretty sure I caught all the important details. Something about magic sake, right?
I'm just not going to watch it. What a concept, right? I'm just not gonna watch it is all.
>>287124950>the "live long enough to become the villain" line in TDKRActually, that line was from The Dark Knight
>>287126515And how are you going to do that?
>>287126627I'm doing it already, right now.
>>287122153>Carlos López Estrada (Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon)Isn't Frozen 2 the one where they introduced a black man love interest to that Let It Go witch everyone was waifuing after the first movie? LOL.
>>287122153>>Carlos López Estrada (Frozen 2, Raya and the Last Dragon)Yooooowwccchhhh>>287126722What? Frozen 2 has Elsa fuck off permanently and the couple remains a couple, it did make yurifags seethe though.
>>287126722What are you talking about? There's no "black love interest" in Frozen 2. It was a girl-power fantasy though. That was the only woke aspect to it I guess.
>>287122816>>2871228254chan's gays got really mad at Shinkai because Suzume was reportedly supposed to be about two women, when Shinkai prepended the romance comment with sisterhood-type. The rest of that interview reads like he's sick of romance. You'd think they'd take the body swapping in 'Your Name' as representation. However, wasn't the live action version apparently announced back in 2017? It's vaporware.
>>287124768Don't even bother, I just found the perfect director for it!
>>287122153Shame he didn't come here for an AmA. We would have treated him like royalty.
>>287126999Suzume was never going to be a romance between two girls, we don't need to debunk that every 2 weeks. There's was absolutely zero romance in it before Souta became a character.https://www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film/suzume-director-makoto-shinkai-talks-about-writing-and-storyboarding-his-own-films-236380.html
>>287125209Why then did he steal scenes? And not even scenes, fucking themes
>>287126030It depends on the producers really. Shinkai would definitely prefer to have Nolan directing it
>>287122153Why do they always have to ruin everything with remakes, reboots, live action and bad sequels?
>>287128188Nolan started writing Inception in 2000, submitted it to Warner Bros in 2001 and they shelved it for years before they decided to go back to it. Paprika came out in 2006.
>>287128278New IPs are a profit risk so getting an old IP and redressing it is generally a safer route. Disney already proved that this works.
