Cardcaptors Could be the Next Live-action Anime Adaption

I think the most popular anime are the ones we grow up with. Shows like Pokémon, Digimon, and Cardcaptors, to name a few. No matter what flaws these shows had, we still have a soft spot for them.
As you know, right now the big movie blockbuster thing is to adapt stuff. People are making movies based on comics, old TV shows, board games (anyone remember Battleship starring Rihanna?) and just about anything people can recognise.
We seem to see a movie every so often based on a manga or an anime. Examples include the highly controversial Dragon Ball Evolution, the bunch of unofficial live-action sequels they produced in Asia as well, the under-whelming troubling production that led to Kite and that odd Gundam movie that was made a few years ago.
In conclusion, anime/manga adaptations don’t tend to work very well. Studios want to use the names for an expedition for some nostalgia dollars, but seem to be afraid of how strange these franchises can be.
Cardcaptor
I mean, think about how toned down all the craziness we had in Dragon Ball Evolution, but I reckon I’ve found a property that might break this trend. Adapt Cardcaptors, or to use its full name, Cardcaptor Sakura.
What’s the story to Cardcaptors? Basically, school girl Sakura accidental unleashes the spirits of some ancient magical cards. With the help of her best friend Maddison, whose kind of a mix of Bruce Wayne and a prototype vlogger, and her mini beast Kero, she must recapture them.
People my age will remember anime playing on CITV after school for a little while. It was pretty rad, the manga is pretty good too, from what I’ve read, but we’ll talk about that another day.
You see, Cardcaptors already has some pre-mashed up Asian and Western culture in it. The dude who created all those magical cards, Clow Reed is half English and Chinese, so already you’ve got a hook for Western audiences and Asian audiences. Imagine a prequel for this dude as well. You can easily cast an established English actor or Asian one to play the role. Just like a Hogwarts Professor looking for a quick pay check.
Since the whole setting isn’t so in tune with Japanese culture that it can be easily adapted as well. No odd culture specific things that’ll stump writers or anything.
