"...the Sci-Fi Channel signed a deal with Sunrise for the rights to a live action remake of Witch Hunter Robin."

My first reaction tonight, upon hearing this, was:

Oh my god WHAT THE FUCK?

::polite cough::

Well, now that that's out of my system....

Oh my god, what the fuck.

And, can I have it now, please? Like, right now. It can premier tomorrow night, even. I'm ready. Let's go.

Come on, where is it?! I want it!

I can see how SciFi could and may mess it up. BUT I've always thought that WHR would work really well as a live-action series (and that it needs continuation--cannot leave me hanging with that ending! eeeep!). They'll probably move the setting of the series to the US, which could mesh with the character's sensibilities--Robin's going to be fish-out-of-water girl no matter where they are, and heck, Doujima's only one brunette dye job away from being Cordelia Chase.

And OMG LIVE-ACTION MICHAEL. EEEP. *flails* I think I have a thing for pretty, snarky, orange-haired boys in tight tight black shirts.

You're absolutely right. Except for the fact that more than a little of the Cordelianess is cover for her espionage.

It would. Probably because it draws from a lot of familiar themes in sci-fi and has a very Xfiles look. Actually, that's something they might want to move a little bit away from or they'll risk looking like every other XF wannabe show on the SciFi network.

Yeah on the moving away from "The X-Files" look...I also hope they'll keep in the themes of the deep mythology surrounding witches and the strong links to Catholicism. I'm very hopeful about the series at this point, though.

It's amazing how much that one series changed science fiction on television. And in film, too, if you think about shows like The Matrix.
