If the notion of seeing Genndy Tartakovsky's stylish Samurai Jack cartoon on the big screen excites you, you're not alone. Tarsem Singh, director of this week's big Greek myth epic Immortals, recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he'd love a chance to adapt the story of the time marooned swordsman
Singh told The Hollywood Reporter he has little interest in comic book movies, but “I love Samurai Jack. I would love to direct that.” He said it’s the epic style, pace and art that he admires.
“It’s brilliant. The speed, it embraces where it comes from. I find that comic strip films are halfway grounded. They don’t play my chord. But I love Samurai Jack. I love the animation," he said.
A live-action version of Jack was actually set up at New Line in the early 2000s, with Brett Ratner attached to direct and produce, but the rights have since reverted back to Cartoon Network.
“Have them contact me,” Singh said.

I don't know Immortals, but I know Tarsem Singh for being the director of The Fall, which aside from being a good movie stands out through the fact that its art direction and cinematography are absolutely stunning.
I have no idea how one would pull off a Samurai Jack movie, it definitely wouldn't be easy to take that stylized look and bring it into the real world. But I can't really say if it's a good or bad idea before I actually see something being done.

If Hollywood could pull this off well, I would love to see a Samurai Jack movie! However, if they're gonna screw it up like they did with Avatar: The Last Airbender, then no way. Save this for an animated CN reboot the day they decide to stop kissing all the little finicky American parents' arses and do something right again. :P
