I've got a scoop but its still classed as a rumor at this time. A friend of a friend got slipped some information from a contact at Warner Bros. Entertainment. I can't get into too much detail about that as probably jobs are at stake if I do, but apparently the company had commissioned a screenplay for a movie adaptation of the popular Pokémon franchise a while back and I've been told a first draft has just recently been turned in.
I've also been told that the screenplay is based on a story that was originally conceived by Ken Sugimori and Warner Brothers is going to great lengths to try to keep all this under wraps.
The contact hasn't been able to find out yet if the script features Ash and the gang from the anime or if it's all original characters. However, I've been promised much more information wise soon with something more solid too.
LEEE777 - Take all that anyway you want, but I'm not surprised a movie like this is in the works, I'm actually surprised its not already been made. Me not being much of a
Pokémon fan and all, but if they did do a live-action movie of this, it would warrant my attention and interest. As long as it doesn't turn into the next
Last Airbender or
Dragonball, I'm there!
