It's based on the novel, not the movie.

So the movie and the novel are drastically different?

If such a "remake" is made, my belief is that it will be disappointing or not up to par to the original. I hope I'm wrong, though.

I'm pretty bitter about all live action remakes. The TV to movie ones are going to suck just as much as the other "sumerzing" movies have *cough*Escaflowne*cough* and there is no point in just making an anime film live action and Americanized rather than to cheese off the fans big time.

I won't be watching it.

Lovely set by the equally lovely Silja!

No, but the live action movie isn't based off of the anime movie.

The original is the novel. Have you read the novel?

As I said, they aren't making an anime film into live action, they're making a novel into live action.
