Fox International is currently negotiating in making the hit manga "Paradise Kiss" into a Live Action movie. Although the production company haven't started production they are stating to be willing to put US$3-4 million into the project. Currently Fox Int. is working together with IMJ to create a production consortium.
"Paradise Kiss" tells the story about a student Yukari who has lost her direction in life. She is taken in by a group fashion students calling themselves "Paradise Kiss" who wants to use her as a catwalk model for their creations. In the process Yukari discovers new goals in life and romance as well.

Oh God, I can already imagine it. The anime was bad enough, but a live action movie will send the po-faced mascara-ridden teen angst through the roof, never mind if it's American or Japanese produced.

Yet.

I'm sure they'll find some no-name actress for it, that's the only thing that would work, imo.

"FIP is setting up the movie adaptation as a $3 million-$4 million Japanese-language film "

If I'm not wrong, that means that it will be in Japanese so there will probably be Japanese actors used in this film.

Well, news team failure? They didn't mention it's a Japanese language film. My failure because I didn't read the article ;)

@kuroshiroi - Lol, perhaps, but I feel there are still alot of ifs in this news so I didn't want to go too far out. Also the title said "steals kiss" in a way touching on that it wouldn't be in Japan. A little mixed messages.

Yeah, it's also kind of odd that Fox International would be producing a Japanese language live-action film? What could they possibly gain from it...

The article states though that they are setting it up as Japanese language film and that they have previously worked on a Japanese remake of the US movie Sideways. So, they have done a Japanese language film before and like the article states, this will be their second attempt at one.

It would be unusual if this where just Fox(US based) but this is Fox International which I assume includes Fox Japan.

But I think it will fail at the characters XD Ex Geroge... It wouldn't surprise me if he had a blue wig.. And Miwako a shiny pink... Well.. I think the characters will look unrealistic and fake if you know what I mean.

paradise kiss is a fashion manga(sorry my eng sux) and u know they will wear a lot of makeup so maybe characters will be look alike(or will be disgustingXD).But it is also a realistic manga it must not be that hard to do it good right!>_<

Well they did a good live action of Nana... though that wasn't Fox was it. But still, maybe the mangaka will keep it to the same lines as the manga. Though I'm not gonna lie, I just finished it and I'm sad with the ending. D;

Yea it's not gonna work, like at all. I highly doubt they will stick to the manga, if they did it would easily get a rated R rating.

AnimeNewsNetwork said today:

The October issue of Shodensha's women's fashion magazine Zipper is announcing on Monday that a live-action film adaptation of Ai Yazawa's Paradise Kiss manga has been green-lit. Keiko Kitagawa (live-action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon's Sailor Mars, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift's Reiko) is starring in the film, and she also adorns the cover of Zipper's October issue. Osamu Mukai (Nodame Cantabile's Tōru Kikuchi) will co-star, and the rest of the cast includes Natsuki Katō, Aya Ōmasa, Kento Kaku, Shunji Igarashi, and Yūsuke Yamamoto.

Certainly didn't say it was excellent. However that being said, I haven't seen the second one so who knows. xD But I love the guy who played Nobu.

It looks so good! That was the actual reason I started reading the manga. :)

Cast looks good and also act really well unlike most live action movies.

sounds like a horrendous idea! paradise kiss is one of my all time favorite anime/mangas and the thought of a live action, especially an american made one, gives me a rash. live action versions are never a good idea in my experience - animation/2-d art has something magical about it which is lost in translation...

Who the hell approved this version of the story?! The only detail similar to the original ParaKissu are character! Where the hell is sexy George? Where the hell is cute Miwako, rebel Arashi and lovely Isabella?!! AWGRH! "#%&/!!! NIGHTMARE. 2 hours stolen from my lifetime. I could re-read manga. They destroyed my mind.
Dear Yazawa, tell me, why? :(
