PTP on TV?

[Ravyn Crescent]

No

But there is a show on Animal Planet that does explain the Pit of Despair pretty well by showing all the things I researched for that scene! They show the animal warriors of the Colosseum.

Who were the Gladiators? Most of them were ex-slaves (or still were slaves), captives and low ranking individuals in society.

And the animals who were dragged from the furthest reaches of the empire to be starved, traumatized and murdered.

This show is called: Animal Gladiators.
It is on Animal Planet.

I wish I could see it! I'm going to have to find a copy of it somewhere.

[Ravyn Crescent]

Is ANYONE able to record this? I've been looking to see if it's for sale anywhere or if they plan on selling it but I cannot find it anywhere

If anyone is able to record it, I'll pay for the DVD or VH or whatever you use to record it and pay for you to be able to display it somehow! I'm noot sure if there's a source online for this, so if anyone knows, please share it!

I think a live action TV series would make A really good replacement fr the old and worn out Smallville. Playing hunter would be awesome but if they were to do it chances are they'd do something like what they;re talking about for loveless. Have it in the same Universe perhaps go off maybe there are more Half cat anasien humans than what was i the book (Hunter) and make a story revolving around there search for revoc. Though chances are a lot of the anti slavery propaganda would be removed and I'm pretty sure Crescent-San won't allow that or at least much. If I were the designer I would be totally able to find awaay to do an alternate story line but Keep all the meaning.

[Ravyn Crescent]

Well, if there were more cat-anasiens it would ruin the focus on the book... we considered it for the follow-up story, but decided against it as it really would remove the symbolism of that focus point.

And yes... a lot of people love the slavery aspect in, sadly, the wrong way. I choose Allyson for the manga because the other offers I get want to make PTP more like Loveless... (anyone from the old forum remember the one "fan" with the PTP/Loveless crossover fanfic? *shudders*). They want to hype the slavery and remove the real anti-slavery messages.

For the PTP manga, we're making it longer than the book, altering the story slightly, to keep it new and interesting and, as mentioned, longer, but keep the ideas and important scenes.

There are a lot of stories/manga/anime out there with slavery... the sad part is, they primarily make the issue worse because they romanticize it in some way... they draw a crowd that wants their OC's to be slaves, too, and we definitely don't want that is it can lead people in real life down a negative path.

Yeah thats what sucks, about it, though it would be great to see a live movie about the books, alot of directors/ script writers would change alot about it and make it not what it was originally supposed to be.

[nekoteen7189]

Well That wouldn't be entirely true if you pull an Anthony Horowitz and write the script yourself. Which would probably be the way to go if PTP were to become anything live action.

Chances are though ... I don't remember I'm supposed to be doing homework and forgot what I was going to say.

[Ravyn Crescent]

I actually got one offer to make an anime of it.... it was gonna take, like, 5 years and the sample art wasn't great.... and yeah, they wanted to alter it, and Loveless was brought up, so that's an automatic NO.

Ally and I don't do this just to have it, we're doing this work to help people and the cause.

[nekoteen7189]

I understand the purpose of the book and manga totally and of course Loveless would be an automatic no. Loveless is great but it is nothing Like PTP. And in all honesty PTP is way better I was just saying that if they were to a movie you should be the one to write the script.

It would be awesome to lay Hunter but I don't fit the part at all. I have an obnoxious voice and am older than 13. So yeah I'd walk in and be bounced back out.

[Ravyn Crescent]

Hmm... I took a scriptwriting class, once... I'd want it CG, though... it would be too hard to find someone that could movelike Hunter.

And hey, we're looking for voice actors reguardless of how you sound! Should try out.

[nekoteen7189]

For Hunter?

I can try as soon as my grounding ends which is usually on the weekends but then is reinstated during school days. Gawd annoying.

[Ravyn Crescent]

Not just Hunter, we're looking for a number of people. You try out with any character and we give you a part, maybe, based on who you sound like

[nekoteen7189]

For reference I can move similar to Hunter. I do crazy things and am a Martial artist. Now if I could only lose this confounded gut (I's in swimming so its only a matter of time.) Running like a cat and agility are no problems for me. But like I said I'm not thirteen and have to shave a lot (swimming *shudders*).

Don't know why this is important though. (I'm referring to me being able to move like Hunter.)

[Ravyn Crescent]

*laughs* WELL... maybe if you come to some conventions and cosplay as him, it would be very important! ^_^


And oo... I love swimming... I used to be soooo good. Now I probably suck, I haven't swam for years. It is great exercise! I just bike and climb now.

[nekoteen7189]

I don't know If I could go to any conventions you would be at. Very limited monetary sums and I am currently stuck in the deep south. Ya here. Lame joke/

Just for the reference I'm on the swim team... but um I come in first in the following event. *shrugs* I'm getting faster right now I'm just out to beat my own time.

No comment on how martial arts would help huh? Oh well. XD
