Bleach to be done by "Get Smart" director....(ok I just died a little bit today)
So seriously, this was like a slap in the face.  The title itself is kind of insulting to a hardcore fan like myself.  Yes, I did have dreams of making this movie(and series of movies) myself.  Again seriously.... and was cool with Segal and friends beating me to the option about 6 months early.  Of course I kept telling myself that WB was gonna shelf the project like they have been for 2 years and Segal and friends would get fed up and I could grab it myself.  Anyway when this headline came up pointing out the fact Segal is known for directing "Get Smart"....(uhh pr people) I almost cried.  He does big budget comedies and this is a far cry from that.  Not to mention anime properties have not shined at all when being re done for the American audience.  Hollywood doesn't quite get it yet.  They see the potential but don't know how to grasp it yet.  I KNOW I CAN GRASP IT AND MAKE IT WORK....but nobody asked me and I wasn't fast enough to get this one going.  Oh well at least I have other ideas to chase instead.  I do hope for the best...but it's a throw away wish.
