Ultraviolet turns Anime

[lord Narf]

The Animax satellite television network confirmed in a Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 press conference on Thursday that its Ultraviolet: Code 044 anime is based on Kurt Wimmer's 2006 live-action Ultraviolet film starring Milla Jovovich. The anime was pre-announced in a press release for the event. Famed director Osamu Dezaki (A****a no Joe, Aim For The Ace!, Lupin III movies) will supervise the animators of Madhouse and Tezuka Productions. Dezaki's longtime collaborator Akio Sugino (A****a no Joe, Aim For The Ace!, (Black Jack The Movie, Golgo 13: The Professional) will design the characters. Romi Paku (Fullmetal Alchemist's Ed, NANA's Nana Osaki) will voice the main character "044." 044 is a female warrior genetically engineered with high combat skills and ordered by the government to annihilate a vampire army. Madhouse founder Masao Maruyama will produce with Sony Pictures Entertainment (Japan). The project will premiere on Animax on July 1 to mark the anime network's 10th anniversary. (Source ANN)

Yeah. The only way you could make that flick suck even more was to turn it into anime.

[Oiler_Fan]

LOL

[lord Narf]

Yeah. The only way you could make that flick suck even more was to turn it into anime. have you ever watched Hayao Miyazaki movies? even people who don't like Anime in general like em

I like his technical art. I hate the way anime people look. Before I saw "CEOT3K" I thought that was what aliens would look like.

[rxsheepxr]

Hayao Miyazaki accounts for roughly 0.01% of all Anime out there... so it's really no bearing on the fact that making a ****ty idea into an anime will likely result in a ****ty anime.

It's also a good example as to how even the Japanese Animation world are remaking everything they can get their hands on.

[Trout606]

Huh, kinda odd, generally it's the US who recycles tired old **** from Japan with crappy remakes, now it's the other way around.

[burngwngs]

I kinda liked the movie. Ofcourse it wasn't great but it was different. I guess I liked the vivid colors.

the point he was trying to make is that they're doing something more to a movie that already sucks to begin with

Thus there really is no need to re-visit it

[Love_The_Spawn]

I really don't see this as good news.

I couldn't stand 18 miliseconds of that movie.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[:( geek tragedy ):]

The original is not going to win any oscars but I thought it was a pretty damn good action flick. It was a way beter Aeon Flux movie than Aeon Flux turned out to be.

Animated crap is still crap.

[bborst]

The movie was complete crap, but had some great visuals.

[:( geek tragedy ):]

Animated crap is still crap.

I am not sure if I understand your point. Are you saying all Animation is crap or just crap that gets animated remains crap?

[puck750233]

he's saying that although it's animated it can't improve on what he thinks is a craptastic story and or movie

[puck750233]

unless it's a complettly revemped..or ignores the movie and uses the preimes and charactors in a new retelling

[deogg]

The part in bold is exactly what I was saying.
