Honestly? Does EVERYTHING need a movie spin-off? God damn, why don't they try focusing on quality cinema instead of franchising anything other corporations don't already have their logo stamped on?
As much as I hate DN, I hate this trend of doing Western takes on Japanese entertainment more. They'd fair a lot better repackaging the original, and focusing on campaigns to normalize Anime and Manga. It would cost less and wouldn't stain those industries reputations further with really bad products.
I can see it now... "Up next on TRL, hot new info. on the latest volume of Bleach!"

That said, I loved the anime and manga (didn't care for the live-action Japanese movies), so I'm interested in seeing how this plays out.

I'll join you in liking the anime (though I still have a volume to go) and not liking the live action version.
However, I also think "L" was one of the most annoying characters ever created in any form.

That's edge-of-your-seat-potato-chip-eating... action!

In that same vein, is Keanu Reeves still remaking Cowboy Bebop? Dear God, please strike him dead...

Its the "Meet the Spartans" theory of movie making.
