agree with the muse, but not with the same integralistic position
as i child i was a big dragonball fan..
Definitely!
Nah, I want to LIVE the action!
I couldn't care less.

Talking about anime as a genre or drawing style is pointless. It's like you've seen Jackie Chan's Rush Hour 3 and you say cinema can't tell a good science fiction story.
Of course not!
I'm just steering towards what everyone else is seeming to say, and running with it.
It seems like a lot of people think live-action would be a fluke. At least, from what I can see...
But, hey...in my opinion, anything can work, if it's done right.
when I suggested that it could work well as a cartoon/anime, I made that suggestion because animation seems to allow for a much broader range of concepts than what modern cinema does.
A fan film done well could inspire a higher budget effort, but if a studio was approached with a concept they'd pass it through a couple of dozen layers of filtering, and the net result would be bland and terrible.
If an animation team was to make something based on wipeout concepts, the chances are much better of something resembling the universe that we know from the games may actually making it through to the end product.
Yes, if handled right, a wipeout movie could be great.
but the chances of it being handled right without being based closely on something else in a linear medium (as opposed to a game) are slim to nil
Oh no, I completely agree.
I just didn't want to imply that it would be an automatic flub.
You are right; animation would allow for a much more...attainable...effect. One example could be the Animatrix, or, for the CG Endeavors, Appleseed Ex Machina or other attempts like Spirits Within or Advent Children.
For a WipEout movie of that caliber, though, it seems like it would cost a very large sum of money...
This would be the estimated level of success acording to the final format (and my honest opinion ):
Broadway musical-0% Movie-20% Animation-50% Novel-95% Videogame- 100%
So get the original back-story writers back to work and take the wipeout spirit to the forefront!
Actually, that's pretty darn accurate... xD
Guys you DON'T want a Wipeout movie, don't you?

I don't; the interactive game is better than a movie could be.
see asayyeah playing 2097 on youtube is way better than any movie..
Guilty secret:
I have the full HD trailer of Speed Racer on my computer...
I feel so dirty...
As well you should; it's not even a cartoon. And certainly not a car 'toon.
It was those car fumes that did it...
With the quality of the star wars pod races years ago in the phantom menace the actual races could be amazing. Need a decent story to back it up of course.
I wonder if Uwe Boll is available........................
Movie preview commercials of Speed Racer are showing in my locality; the racing scenes look like pure CGI of a very unconvincing sort, like on an older game console except with lots of pixels so they look smooth. But they do not look realistic at all. It is certainly not the way I would want WipEout to look in any visual medium of any kind.
Speed Racer reminds me of this movie which was also about a race in futuristic cars and which flopped miserably due to poor plot but also poor racing action.
I didn't watch SpyKids 3D and I am definitely not going to watch Speed Racer.
I feel that the idea could follow a tournament such as Descension in Pure (example only, not my idea) and have pre- and post-race talks to and between pilots as well as news stories about the race. Another idea relating to this is to follow the tournament from the perspective of one team, the winner doesn't really matter.
The idea will work well if implemented properly.
Another idea is to follow the life of AG-Racing from 2004 to 2207 and onwards if there is another game out before the film.
to be honest, I think that would be better for Sony to rely on other brands than wipeout for a movie, the commercial impact of Wipe"Out' it's not as big as, for example that of an appreciated by masses brand like Gods of War.. (which I really don't like ndr)
maybe I'm wrong, but money is money..
