Live-Action Pokémon Movie in the Works
While Pokémon has been a beloved anime for more than two decades, new plans for the franchise to release a live-action movie have been unveiled, which mean every '90s kid is one step closer to becoming a Pokémon master with a real-life Pikachu.
The Hollywood Reporter says that a top-secret auction is underway for the film rights to the Japanese franchise, with Legendary Entertainment (which produced the recent Godzilla and King Kong remakes) looking to nudge aside frontrunner Warner Bros. (who have Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, and the original Pokémon movies under their belts). Sony (The Angry Birds Movie, Smurfs) is also interested.
THR adds that The Pokémon Company has been "courting Hollywood to launch a big-budget live-action movie."
