This is an old story from 2011. Things may be different.

I can't judge Tarsem Singh as I saw only one film of his, IMMORTALS. I thought it was a very stylish film with an okay story.

So, while I'd love to see a live-action Samurai Jack, I would not say Singh would fit as director. I'd rather have Tartakovsky try a live-action version.

Tartakovsky doing a CGI/Animated film would be better.

As in, keep it 3D animated, but take something of a page from the Beowulf/Tintin movie and go for a 'stylized' CGI animation that isn't ultra-cartoony...but still has room for strong colors and 'animated' style imagery.....don't do a CGI film and try to make it look completely like live action.

I think it could be pretty brilliant....and definitely go for a PG-13 rating, without a doubt.

Since Tartakovsky animated both of the Hotel Transylvania movies, I think he could do really well with remaking/extending the Samurai Jack universe. However, I do think that Samurai Jack could do really will as a live-action movie.

Agreed, something in the style of 300 could work very well.

Written and directed by Michael Bay. "So, like Jack will show up and he'll be like KAPRAW!!!" *Bay throws papers into the air* 😉
