Next Childhood Franchise to Get Live Action Big Screen Treatment

I loved the **** out of Zoids.

 

I loved zoids. Shadow fox was the sh**.

 

I don't remember lighting saix, which animal was that suppose to be?

 

Idk, whoever they are I wish they would give zoids a proper release on DVD. It's in volumes on amazon, and each volume is like $90 lol

 

BraveStarr.

 

Power Rangers. Just cross the concept of Green Lantern (ancient technology/relics giving ordinary people extraordinary powers and awesome protective suits) with The Avengers (different people coming together to face a common threat), throw in some martial arts, giant robots and monsters, and you've got yourself an awesome film.

 

Power Rangers had a movie. I remember vaguely seeing parts of it.

Cowboy Bebop is one I'd love to see as a movie but I'm afraid of what we'd get seeing how they mangled Dragonball beyond recognition.

 

I think everyone means a slightly more serious and awesome take on the franchise.

Dragonball was bad because the people working on that didn't take the material seriously, and because it's pretty much nearly impossible to do translate properly into live-action.

Cowboy Bebop is one of those properties that would be very easy to adapt into live-action, because it's much more grounded and has a very simple yet intriguing premise (bounty hunters on a spaceship living day-to-day on the bounties they cash in for money, occasionally finding themselves in very interesting situations). If they got a really talented writer and director who truly respected the material, it could be a really awesome film.

 

Swat Katz. Man what an awesome show that was.

 

I think Dragonball Z is going to be attempted again some day and they're actually going to give a damn about making it half decent. As technology becomes more advanced and cg more affordable, it seems like a reasonable venture for any film studio to take on.

In terms of which film would make the best franchise in terms of QUALITY, that would easily be Cowboy Bebop...but anyone who watch that show would tell you it wasn't a kids show

 

Thundercats
Gargoyles
Mighty Max
MASK
Pirates of Dark Water

May be potential in Visionaries or King Arthur and the Knights of Justice..

Power Rangers definitely though..

I did debate posting this again as I've just posted it in the pitch a movie thread and have posted it a couple times before but what the hell... this is my idea for a more "POTC/Transformers" in tone reboot

 

I think there is considerable potential with Power Rangers. I will also add Gundam, Outlaw Star, and Swatcats.

 

Pokemon.

 

Who's gonna mess with this Power Ranger?

 

How about these guys? They were so grungy and cool, and they had a pretty cool backstory (I remember it as such, but not the details). I can't believe they've faded away for the most part, they were huge when I was little.

 

He's out doing all of the cons because he's back for super megaforce. He has said how much he'd love to do a bit more serious Power Rangers movie. He absolutely loves that he was a Ranger

 

Voltron and He-Man.

a serious Power Rangers reboot would also be nice.

btw....I like your Power Rangers ideas, Vapor.

 

I went for Voltron. Just as my personal preference.

 

Although I did do this for Halloween.

 

I voted for Thundarr The Barbarian (gee, what a shock). Although I would also like to go on record as saying a live action adaptation of the 2003 reboot of He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe would also be totally awesome.

And we might not be that far from both of these franchises hitting the big screen. He-Man has been in Developement Hell for years, but Matel has actually gotten behind having a He-Man movie made. Unfortunately they can't seem to find a script they like, and every director who signs on to the project ends up wanting to take too many liberties with the source material.

As for Thundarr? I've actually written a screenplay for this myself. It's available to be read on www.fanfiction.net, as well as The Wonderful World Of Make Believe (WWOMB), for those of you interested in giving it a read. And I am in the process of trying to gain investors so that I can get the movie produced. I've already got a couple of local production companies interested in taking on the project once I have the finances and legalities sorted out.

Which one will be made first? We're gonna have to wait and see.

 

I'm on the Power Rangers movie bandwagon.
