Turning Anime into Live-Action seems to be the new thing

Well, I'm slow, but a week ago apparently Full Metal Panic! got picked up to be a live action movie entitled Panic.

More info here

I love Full Metal Panic! Both the anime and manga, but I dunno how I feel about a live action. I did enjoy Transformers, so hopefully they can make it good like Transformers. But, Zac Efron? I don't have anything against him. I didn't really like him in High School Musical, but I liked him in Hiarspray. I really can't see him playing Sousuke or any other character in the series though....

There's been so many animes being turned into live action movies lately. I guess their getting good money off it.

Transformers
Speed Racer
Dragonball 'Evolution'
Astro Boy (it'll be CGI though)
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note (Apparetly it's getting a Hollywood remake......)
And apparently Ghost In Shell, Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Afro Samurai....

What's next? Anyone wanna guess?
I could see them going after Bleach and Naruto or Full Metal Alchemist.... which is a really scary thought.

Anyway just thought I'd spread this news! Later!
