Lupin III Coming to Hollywood

Secret anime ninja writes "A story in today's Toronto Star says, "Master thief Lupin the Third, a comic book hero in Japan for more than 30 years, will soon make his Hollywood debut." The story goes on to say that it's been optioned by the producer of Minority Report, Schindler's List and Jurassic Park." Lupin III is currently airing on Cartoon Network and several Lupin movies are available on DVD. Castle of Cagliostro, directed by Miyazaki is a great movie.

Funny

First american movie based on a japanese anime based on a french book (arsene lupin).
Will a french adaptation be made after that?

Imagine the A-Team, with incredibly skinny legs, and instead of helping people out, they try to rip people off. Oh, and a hot chick that is a backstabbing bitch, and also the only character with normal looking legs.

Re:animated or live-action?

I think they would have trouble finding people with legs that skinny.

However...

<urbanlegend>However, it's being renamed Lupin to accommodate the foolish americans who haven't seen Lupins I or II</urbanlegend>

Distribution Deal

[CleverNickName]

I have it on good authority that this will be distributed by Dennis Moore.

Hurray for Hollywood

Lupin and his gang will save some Jews from the Nazis and steal some fertilized dinosaur embryos, but are finally captured when Zenigata uses some prescient bald freaks who live in a quantum hot tub to finally get their man.

Hudson Hawk was bad?

Am I the only human being alive who actually likes Hudson Hawk?

Obligatory Haiku

"That's not a lupin!"
(whips a plant from back of belt)
"This [ruthvilmi.net] is a lupin!"

"Blimey, this redistribution of literature is trickier than I thought."

Don't forget the hair on the back of the hands.

And that the girl's so top-heavy her head could fit in her torso about 3 times.
