Japanese console giant Nintendo is considering a foray into the movie industry, it emerged today, with former president Hiroshi Yamauchi telling a press conference that he plans to propose an animated film project to the firm..... Yamauchi claims that the movie would work both in Japan and abroad - suggesting that perhaps what he has in mind is along the lines of the animated films produced by director Hayao Miyazaki, which have proved successful worldwide and often draw on traditional Japanese sources for their inspiration.

The largest problem with Final Fantasy: Spirits Within is that it's not a Final Fantasy story. It has no magic, no swordplay, no combination of steampunk and magically-powered machines, and no great, sweeping epic adventure involving some overpowered individuals with a bad plan for the entire world.

If they wanted to adapt a Final Fantasy story to the screen, FF6 or FF7 would have made far better choices.

Also, when are they going to make a sequel to Chrono Trigger that is more than just ok (chrono cross)?
