KPop Demon Hunters Creator Addresses Live Action Remake Possibility | E! News
K-pop Demon Hunters creators are setting the record straight on a possible liveaction version. Despite the massive success of the Netflix animated musical, the movie’s creator, Maggie Kang, revealed that she has no interest in bringing the fictional K-pop group Huntress into the real world, telling the BBC in an interview October 11th, quote, “There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation. It’s really hard to imagine these characters in a liveaction world, it would feel too grounded.” so totally it wouldn’t work for me. Likewise, her co-director Chris Applehans said that he was hesitant to venture into the realm of live-action storytelling, telling the outlet, quote, “The joy of animation is how far you can push and elevate what’s possible.” Adding that past adaptations of anime features have felt a little stilted. But while the filmmakers plan to keep the franchise firmly in the animated world, Maggie noted that she’s excited for the potential for more stories set in the film’s universe. She teases, quote, “There’s definitely more we can do with these characters in this world, and whatever it will be, it will be a story that deserves to be a sequel, and it will be something that we want to see.” Which means for Huntrix, there’s only one way to go.

thank god that there will not be a live-action adaption
Good call! Forget a live action remake, instead PLEASE do a televised concert on Netflix or a pay per view special with all the artists singing all the songs from the movie!🙏🏼 I would pay to see that! 🤩Please LIKE this comment if you agree! Let’s get it DONE, DONE, DONE!
