Full Metal Panic Live Action will reportedly star Zac Efron as Sousuke Sagara! NO! NO! NO! Stick to the status quo! Anime fans are united when they say "Hell NO!!!" Sousuke Sagara is a tough dude and he will not break into singing any time soon.
Internet reports say Mandalay Pictures grabbed the rights to destroy Shoji Gatoh's anime. Full Metal Panic is about a teenage anti-terrorist operative Sousuke Sagara who is tasked to protect a high school girl, Kaname Chidori.
Don't try on some idiots' report about the anime for there are old people in Full Metal Panic.
Sousuke Sagara as an anti-terrorist agent carries a gun to school and this will not bode well in the US. School shootings have recently victimized the country. Guns and US High School is a sensitive topic but Mandalay honchos seem to miss it. Better not do Full Metal Panic Live Action at all! This is my biggest concern and not because Zac Efron is in the movie. But movie executives have no hearts anyway so...
Hollywood is losing creativity? You can't lose what you don't have...
Full Metal Panic Live Action will it be like Rambo or Cody Banks? Why do I have the feeling it will be Dragonball Evolution all over again? Maybe Chidori is a girlfriend of the school bully (what's Hollywood teen movie without them) and Sousuke is your typical pre-makeover dude. And Chidori is a popular girl and cheerleader (ughh - the horror) talks like one of those girls on MTV ("as if!"). If Hillary Duff plays Chidori that will be fine with me.
I mean Hollywood formula has to be there - their executives will insist on it. This is how they make money. I call it the Spiderman Formula!!!

Update: Nothing is final yet. Updated reports say most likely Zac Efron will not be in the movie
