West to East

Alright. So quite a few movies are being made from either Anime or just from the east. What if we had western movies go east? So name a director and a movie.
Ex. Hayao Miyazaki's Hound Dog, Takashi Miike's Home Alone.

    Well this one is not a movie, yet anyway, but I just felt like throwing it out there since it would be a dream of mine for it to be directed by this individual.

    Mamoru Oshii's Snow Crash

    I don't know, I think Snow Crash is too frenetic for Oshii. I think he needs a more contemplative, cerebral type of SciFi. I would absolutely LOVE to see Snow Crash as an anime, though.

    Also, there are plenty of anime adaptations of Western books. The Borrowers, Howl's Moving Castle, and a whole bunch of SciFi anime are based off of novels written in English.

    Yeah, you are probably right ahout that. As far as books being made into anime I know about some of them, such as The Borrowers which I read in school, but there are a lot that I did not know about, like Howl's Moving Castle. I wonder who would best fit Snow Crash as a director though.

    Directed by Kenji Kamiyama. I know Oshii directed the GitS movie, but I like the series' better.

    Watanabe is great, but I think I'd rather see Kōichi Mashimo direct it.

    Just imagine: Irresponsible Captain Reynolds.

    This was pretty good when it was called Cowboy Bebop (okay, they're not precisely similar, but still).
    Irresponsible Captain Reynolds.
    OH MY GOD YES.
