The day many fans have dreamed of has finally arrived, as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that a bidding war has erupted over the film rights to a live action Pokemon movie. The Pokemon Co. has reportedly held a top-secret auction for the rights, with Thomas Tull’s Legendary, Warner Bros., and Sony all vying for the winning bid.
The outlet notes that Legendary appears to be the favorite for the time being, but since their parent company Wanda is Chinese, it could pose a problem given tensions between China and Japan in the past.
My childhood self is exploding over the thought of this..... Hell my current 23 year old self is going crazy over this.
I don't care if this is based on the anime or the games but I need to see a live action Team Rocket recite their motto on the big screen.
