Warner Bros to develop Live Action Bleach movie

+ posted by Hermie in Manga News on Mar 22, 2010 19:37


News have surfaced that Warner Bros. have started development on a live action adaptation of Bleach.

The director producer they've attached to the project is Peter Segal, who is an obvious fit for Bleach, having previously directed such "masterpieces" as Get Smart and The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

Details are sparse, as this project is still in the planning stages, but suffice to say, they will have to work hard if the fans of the manga are to be pleased.

As far as the storyline goes, they will probably go with something like "Introduce Ichigo, Introduce Rukia, switch power, they both get in trouble from the Soul Society, but in the end, Ichigo saves the day by killing a big Hollow, The End." I can't see how they could cram the establishment of all the captains, not to mention any espada, in one movie. However, we might still see them if this is a hit, and they make this into a franchise.

What I'm more worried about, is if they can pull off the style Bleach has, at least in the early volumes. Bleach has always had a unique art direction, and I'm not sure if it can translate to the screen very well.

Another big concern is of course the casting. Who do you cast as the Bleach characters? Do you go for the young, white stars, ensuring more money at the box office on account of big names, or do you cast Asians, which probably means more accuracy in character and culture, but, according to the studios, doesn't attract as many movie goers. (This so called "white-washing" has happened before, with the upcoming The Last Airbender adaptation, and the atrocious Dragonball Evolution)

And if you do cast white people in these roles, do you then keep the character names? Or do you change them? What's worse, a character named "Ichigo" played by a white guy, or "John the Shinigami (or, more likely, 'Reaper')"? Hey, maybe they'll name him Strawberry...

Of course, it is entirely possible that this will never come to fruition. The same studio has long been working on a "Akira" adaptation, but it seems to be dead in the water. Maybe they can get Nick Simmons to write it, he seems to have a nack for adapting Bleach...

[edit] I realize I may come off as overly negative towards this, but I was mostly just trying to imagine and flesh out the choices/problems of this production. ^^;

Normally I'd get pissed and hate the fact that they keep making these damn live-action adaptions, but since I'm a big fan of both Bleach and a lot of Peter Segal's movies like 50 First Dates, The Naked Gun 33 1/3 and The Nutty Professor II, I am really excited about this! This can't go wrong! :D



No, really, they should just quit it with the live-action adaptions already.

Honestly, this movie will most definitely turn out different from the original manga/anime script. Especially when they have chosen a "Caucasian" male character to play as Ichigo.

'Warner Bros' are known to make allot of live action movie titles (both good & bad). When they go for live action movies that were mainly created or influenced by asian authors or artists, it is 'very hard' to tell whether the movie will end up being like Dragonball Evolution until you see the trailers.

I am not going to bring up the upcoming events of the movie called "The Last Airbender" because I believe we've heard enough critics on directors & character castings...

Everyone should look at the "Warner Bros" attempt at the movie called "Transformers 1 & 2" The movie and story setting and lines were amazing due the casting picking and the graphics applied to the movie. This is what Bleach needs.

If they are not going to put the story setting in Japan, then I wonder what state or city they would choose as the new "Karakura Town", since Tite Kubo has been using that town from chapter one as only part of the world that Bleach sets in. My bets on New York or Washington DC, or Los Angeles...but it won't feel the same (especially when they'll be using a kimono as the "shinigami custom" since it is located at a different region and country) My thoughts on the new "shinigami outfit" should be based on the movie trilogy called "THE MATRIX"!!!! They should use black glasses and shiny black outfits as their new clothing styles if it would be based in America or Canada.

I don't want this to turn out being like a "Bleach Filler" in live action style because that would suck big time.

Maybe this could be a chance to give Bleach a "new story line" and different characters based in different parts of the world, different Soul Societies, enemies etc. But I have a feeling that whatever comes out from this idea, it'll turn out epic because "BLEACH" with a touch of "American Action Movie" and personally produced by "Warner Bros" and given some detailing info from "Tite Kubo himself...that ALONE is EPIC RESULTS.

And Nick Simmons? I'm not even going to go there...lol
Can't Wait Though!!!

For hermie's sake he better have had copied and pasted this article from somewhere else, because if he actually typed it up himself. Then oh man oh man xD horrible, Get Smart and Nutty Professor 2 were far from masterpieces, not even close. xD Stick to something else dude.

It's weird because most anime charachters are Japanese but they have weird colored hair and huge eyes. Would they set the story in Japan or in a semi real Japan. It could end up like Showdown in Little Tokyo or Big Trouble In Little China.
#12. by wccrawford ()
Posted on Mar 22, 2010
The characters is anime almost never look 'Asian'. The colorful hair and eyes, the facial features, etc... They all look 'caucasian'.

So casting them as 'white' characters isn't out of line. Though, I think Rukia and Byakuya do tend to look more Asian than caucasian due to their eye color, hair color, and hair styles.

As for making it like the manga and anime... No live action has -ever- come out like the original. And very few anime are close to the manga. To expect it is to invite disappointment. Instead, hope they get the spirit correct and ignore the fact that Ichigo's spikey hair isn't quite the right shade of orange.

And here I thought Naruto would become a live action film before Bleach. Oh well, who knows what's going to happen. I mean, I'm white, but I could never imagine U.S. producing a live action film from an anime-oh wait, there was Dragonball Evolution. Hopefully, if they do get squared away with making a U.S. movie adaption of the manga, it won't set such another stereotype for white people screwing up anime adaptions. People are smarter nowadays; we should be able to do better than screw up more.

Well, when you consider the recent adaptation of Dragon Ball, I can see your point of view. Something's off when you're trying to get a non-Asian actor to play the role that an Japanese character has in a story. It does take a bit of a stretch to pull it off.

Lame! One thing I believe & is that anime & live action don't mix - they just don't have the same essence.

On a lighter note, how are they gonna get appropriate actor/actresses? Get Ron Weasley to play Ichigo? And what about Orihime? How are they gonna find someone of... ahem... her figure?

actually peter segal won't direct it he will be the main producer
and about your negativity i do understand it and after DBE i support it with all my heart, is like the series "priest" they change from zombies to vampire and from a priest who is out for revenge after his love was killed they change it into a priest who's niece got kidnap and now he is trying to rescue her HAHAHAHAHA an entirely screw up, this is why i hate American writers, i still say that they just racist and to show their hatred towards Japanese culture and proof their rednecks they just screw over their stories hahahahahah

"Peter Segal, who is an obvious fit for Bleach, having previously directed such "masterpieces" as Get Smart and The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps." just to clarify, BLEACH is an ACTION filled manga, what are they turning this into... a comedy movie?

i know bleach has funny parts but hey, you cant direct a movie which is wayy out of your range of genre. [Peter Segal on Comedy Genre]
#51. by Oblivion ()
Posted on Mar 23, 2010
first of all: be glad its Warner and not FOX

-of course they will 'white-wash' the main character o.O why shouldnt they.

-even though the chosen director has only worked on stupid projects i will give him the benefit of doubt coz as the original news says he's be seeking out a darker, action oriented script

-i'd love it if the movie has the 60's colour style art direction, but probably not so.

how good a fantasy/action movie turns out is mostly up to the director's vision and how well the script is written. It could turn out to be dragonball: evolution and the legend of chun li or sincity, ironman and dark knight.
#52. by candy ()

its one of those things where you want it to happen but then again you dont want it to happen...all i can say is that i hope its not as crappy as dragonball evolution... i liked the manga and anime for it but i didnt like the live action i hope bleach will be better

Only the Espada characters can be played by caucasians, hispanics and africans. All the other characters have japanese names: so they have the same ethnicity.
I think live action series would be the best option: but such a project is almost impossible.

Bleach is actually my favorite manga right now so needless to say I am a big fan...I don't know how Hollywood is going to pull that off, I mean a white dude playing Ichigo...come on!!!
It might have been better if they decided to do a Fullmetal Alchemist movie, it's one of my favorite also but the setting of the manga makes it a bit easy to produce a live-action movie...
Anyway, I hope they are not going to give us some shitty movie like Dragonball Evolution (my eyes bled so much I was blind for 5 freaking days...XD)
No seriously folks, this can only go wrong...

They should've go with CGI like FF:AC instead of live action >.>;;
Fantasy manga especially involving some super magic/powers isn't a good choice for live action. DB was the good example.

I'm not even going to get my hopes up on this one. The only anime I can see being made into a good live-action film would be Kenshin: Trust/Betrayal. The transition would be easy because the storyline isn't so unbelievable. I think there is more profit in making a film that can be liked by both kids and adults. For anime's like Bleach or Naruto, I think making those into CGI films would be better. I was blown away when I saw FFVII: Advent Children. I wonder why more producers don't go that route.

Thanks for the laugh near the end... yeah, Nick Simmons would be perfect. He can cast his dad as Ichigo, wouldn't that be great?

I ~might~ be vaguely tempted if they cast Christina Ricci as Rukia. But if they do the expected and "bleach" the cast and storyline... fuck 'em, and best wishes to anyone who goes Kenpachi on the lot of them.

@ghostexiled: DAMN straight. Hollywood knows people have gotten sick of their repetitive drivel, so what do they do? They buy (or steal, like Disney) other people's good stories... and start "improving" it with the same stupidity people are sick of! They're like a 3-year-old that got bored of playing with his own shit and wants to come smear his fingers on everyone else's toys.

I have to add a little something...Hollywood can produce any kind of movie they want when they are base on comics. Because if you look at X-men, Ironman, Hulk or even transformers...these movies are just outstanding, I mean they are great if you ask me.

The reason they succeeded with them is only because the comics or their adaptions are already Americanize and as such it's not a difficult task for them to accomplish plus they really want to please the comics fan so they have a big budget to back it up. With that said, Bleach is something else, even it is popular to a certain point just like dragonball is or was whatever... I doubt they are willing to invest a lot in it. If they did they wouldn't have pick Peter Segal as the producer (did I mention that that guy is a specialist in COMEDY MOVIES). Last time I check, Bleach is a freaking ACTION anime with a little bit of comedy...Anyway, my point is they could have pick a better person for the job like Spielberg or the guy who produced the Harry Potter movies if they wanted to show they were serious. So for now I can only see a grim future for that movie

Anyhow, I am a big fan of Bleach and I will always be a big fan of Bleach, however no matter how I look at it, some series should just remain on paper or animated series on TV. So in other word Bleach should just remain a manga and anime. I really dont have big expectation for that movie, though I will be here to see how it goes (Hollywood has enough technology to produce some marvelous and breathtaking stuff for the big screen). I can only hope that they don't f**k it up so much that it blinds me permanently after Dragonball had done it temporarily...

I really don't know what to feel. Bleach is one of my favorite mangas of all time, I really don't want it to be ruined, I live in L.A and I have seen mostly American movies, Warner Brothers is a very good movie company, from what I have seen. And Peter Segal has funny movies (Like 50 first dates!! love that movie!) But, if they mess up bleach I will go and kill them (no I won't!) I will be very disappointed, I will watch it, even if it is bad. I have never seen Dragonball Evolution, (nor do I want to.) But I heard it was horrible! For some reason in my mind I want to believe that they will do a good job but who knows... I mean it might even not come out. Just like the Death note movie (That is probably never going to come out...) And you would of thought that Naruto or one piece would have been it heck when I heard about this I didn't know it was bleach and people on the Kateikyo hitman reborn fourms on mangafox were saying that they would like to see KHR tured into a live-action movie (I would to!!) Who knows. It should be Nick Simons who does it *Roll's eyes*. Lets hope they do a good job.

yup i agree with bax...
If its a CGI movie like FF:AC, i would bet all of my money that it would be a a smashing hit. But a live action movie? give me a break :(.

I vote for strawberry the reaper...Sounds very promising.

As long as they get some Disney teen sensation for Ishida and porn stars for all the ladies with big boobs, the movie should be a hit.



Or not .

I've got it!

For Ichigo, they can cast... CARROT TOP!

If they cast Ichigo as a white person, I wouldn't care. I've always thought of Ichigo as white, I've never thought of him as an asian in my life. He looks, sounds, and acts like a Western person. So I think, on the contrary, it would be a miscasting to cast him as an ASIAN person.

Yeah however, I don't have high hopes for this movie. I would never trust Peter Segal with this.

Pfft, this movie will never come out. It will go into development hell for another 10 years and then finally get scrapped once the Bleach fad passes. You heard it here first.

Well, at least I can say that the plot will move faster than the original.

But that's the only positive thing I can think of....


DAMN YOU WARNER BROS! WHY MUST YOU MAKE LIVE ACTION VERSIONS OF THINGS THAT YOU ARE CLEARLY INEPT AT MAKING LIVE ACTION VERSIONS OF?!

OH GOD! Please don't!

If the cast are Japanese, and they stick to the manga/anime and everything, I don't mind. Other than that it's a no, no and NO!

Just the idea of it disgusts me.

Oh god... I'm definitely NOT looking forward to this, IF it comes to fruition... having seen Legend of Chun li, and Dragon Ball Z, I have lost any and all faith in the movie companies abilities to take MUCH BELOVED anime/manga/video games, retain ANY of the original story and or character development, and turn it into something good, watchable, and something the fans would like =_=;

Personally I think that it's stupid to attempt live action movies based on anime. First most anime is too long to do just one movie of anyway. Then, as you pointed out there are the actors to consider. Asian, American, it's gonna be bad no matter who you cast. Asains are better in this, however. Then if you do make the movie you have a lot of angry fans when it turns out different then what they expect it to be.

In the long run though they'd make money off of it there'd be a lot of angry fans. Well that's just my opinion anyway. I can say this though, there is one live action movie that I did enjoy and that was Death Note.

i couldnt believe this when i found out like 5 mins ago and i had to register to give my thoughts about this...After wat they did to dragonball i would have to say OMG NOOOO to this. Atless if they are going to use the main cast of bleach. I could understand and would prefer if they did like a new cast and story line or something along that line with reference to the original bleach. Then its understand about so that the original bleach doesnt get ruin if it goes bad. Becus honestly after Dragon ball Evolution the Dragon ball world just came crumbling down...
