BakuganBattleBrawlers Bakugan Movie Now Has a Director

Last year, Spinmaster and Universal started plans on making a Bakugan movie. And just last month it was announced that Universal Pictures has finally chosen a director to make the anticipated movie.

The director attached to the project will be Harald Zwart, the director of the remake of The Karate Kid. Now while The Karate Kid was indeed a success, there may be some reservations with the Bakugan film among fans. The Karate Kid involved real human beings and a real life situation. Bakugan, however, involves balls that transform into huge monsters with great powers. When it comes to storylines involving big monsters with awesome powers, the movie project becomes worrying. Just think, Dragonball Evolution... that movie turned out disappointing fans of the Dragonball series. But I guess we should give Harald Zwart the chance to make a good movie out of Bakugan.

Guys, wanna know who hasn’t been mentioned in FOREVER? Joe? From the first season? He was awesome! They’ve completely forgotten about him…
Q says: January 5th, 2011 at 5:02 pm

HEY IT’S ROBO!!! and maybe thts cause Joe is still on earth, and his partner bakugan died…
Q says: January 5th, 2011 at 5:03 pm

Hahaha, I saw your’e review Zat, (Hope you don’t mind if i call you by that) Your’e voice is different from what i expected!
Qwen says: January 5th, 2011 at 5:32 pm

who is joe?
dan says: January 5th, 2011 at 5:35 pm

what review?
lordhissis says: January 5th, 2011 at 5:49 pm

ok im thinking of how this movie is gonna work out and i think that if these guys use real human and maybe cg animated bakugan it could work but lets not forget the brawlers are anime looking with multi coloured hier and eye big multi coloured eye and their faces and voices are just a few of the imposible things to replicate,But with all through animation nothings aproblem anything is possible. Then again i realy wanna see what they do with real human and the bakugan i just hope the animated models dont look like thier made of caly and a lot more realistic
dan says: January 5th, 2011 at 6:18 pm

who are you?
bakumaniacollectorR says: January 5th, 2011 at 7:21 pm

I think it would be very awsome if they make an actually Bakugan Movie, using real Actors, but what about Runo because she has Blue Hair, and they need to find a short kid to play Marucho?
Can’t wait…
Ω Hydranoid says: January 5th, 2011 at 8:04 pm

@lordhissis
Hairdye and animation like from avatar.
mooboo says: January 5th, 2011 at 8:42 pm

Ω Hydranoid says: January 5th, 2011 at 10:23 pm

dan says: January 5th, 2011 at 11:08 pm

it isn’t the best movie but it was ok, i don’t know how good the graphics and anamation are because we didn’t buy it a “friend” when’t to the movie in thearters and recorded it so it wasn’t the best graphics and anamation
dan says: January 6th, 2011 at 12:52 am

Doomvizion27 says: January 6th, 2011 at 3:16 pm

Ω Hydranoid says: January 6th, 2011 at 4:32 pm

make sure to copyright the idea or microsoft will just steal it from you and say it’s theirs.
samauri says: January 6th, 2011 at 7:18 pm

it would be cool if you could make a website where you could design any kind of bakugan and have it sent to your house for a price with a reasonable g power that nobody has
Doomvizion27 says: January 6th, 2011 at 7:39 pm

yeah
dan says: January 6th, 2011 at 9:37 pm

it would be cool and hey samauri it has been a long time, A LONG TIME
dan says: January 6th, 2011 at 10:38 pm

Ω Hydranoid says: January 7th, 2011 at 8:27 am

hero factory are rip offs of bionicle.
dan says: January 7th, 2011 at 1:53 pm

crap, and ya they are i think making us think “bionicles are old, hero factory is new” when it even says “made by the makers of bionicles” they are lieing to our faces, but who cares as long as there are new parts, more stuff to make, and they look cool, it’s semi-ok with me
dan says: January 7th, 2011 at 1:56 pm

all they did was some new part’s and change the name/package thats it
Doomvizion27 says: January 7th, 2011 at 2:21 pm
