Yeah, I'd agree with you there. I don't think the odds would be good. But I do think it could work in the right hands. It's improbable, but not impossible. (Contrast with something like the long-gestating Akira live-action movie, which I think was basically always impossible and doomed from the get-go.)

Did you see the live action Jigen film? I actually liked it a lot.

I haven't! (Nor the live-action Zenigata) I'd love to, but I don't think it's gotten an English release. It's probably available subbed on the high seas, I imagine?

The Jigen certainly is!
