Just realised that there are WAY too many versions (or not enough?) of Sailor Moon to talk about now. We got the musicals, the Japanese anime, the English version and the Japanese Live Action tv show and now an upcoming English Live Actio Movie version!
Now, I remember this story of the English LA Movie started with a site saying a Japanese mag mentioned it. Thing is, apparently the Japanese mag
didn't mention it afterall. Guess the story was bogus...
... until
MTV asked the rumored actress, Lindsay Lohan about her role in the upcoming film and she
confirmed that the people behind the movie have sent her some materials to look at however there is no script yet.
I think she'd be great personally. She seems to be a pretty good actress and could seriously work in the role.
On another note, for those bitching about how a US company would butcher the film.... GROW UP. Seriously, there are some great US comic movies that have been made in the last few years, X-MEN, Batman Begins, Spiderman and even the Scooby Doo movies. A movie like this could reinvigorate the Sailor Moon franchise and most likely set into motion the English Dubbing of the final anime season, Sailor Stars and a possible reliscencing of the manga.
Actually when you think about it, this movie (if it is indeed true) could be the reason Bandai wanted the US Sailor Moon rights to expire last year. Once they got all the rights back, they could produce an English Sailor Moon movie.
It kind of makes sense, but this is just my crazy theory.
Exciting times!
