Stars of the upcoming movie were on hand to help kick off the 2018 Pokémon World Championships in Nashville.
Competitors and fans at the 2018 Pokémon World Championships opening ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee, got a surprise treat when cast members of the first-ever live-action Pokémon movie, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu, came to the stage. The Pokémon Company president Tsunekazu Ishihara introduced movie director Rob Letterman and actors Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton to talk a little about the upcoming film.

Slated to launch in 2019, POKÉMON Detective Pikachu is a live-action adventure mixed with CGI Pokémon, and it stars Ryan Reynolds as the voice of Pikachu. Other big names in the cast include Bill Nighy, Rita Ora, Ken Watanabe, and Suki Waterhouse, in what is sure to be an exciting cinematic event next year.

Fans even got a chance to lend their voices to the film. Letterman led a chant of the attendees shouting out “Pikachu!” and “Charizard!” The audio was recorded for use in the movie. What a way to kick off the 2018 Pokémon World Championships!

Look forward to more details on POKÉMON Detective Pikachu as its 2019 launch draws closer!

Death Note made by Netflix? I haven't watched it for now but I have read that it's horrible :suspect:

I haven't watched it either but I looked up, his meeting with Ryuk and it was hilarious! When it shouldn't have been... Honestly from the few clips I've seen the best choice they've made it casting William Defoe (aka Green Goblin from the first Toby Spider-Man) as Ryuk, and that's it.

I thought about it yesterday, and I thought the most convincing way to make a live action Pokemon movie is to make a movie about the Pokemon community, or the Pokemon fandom. The Pokemon fandom has a long history, and there are many elements in it that would be able to fill a movie.
The scenes where Pokemon appear could be the gameplay scenes. Although we play on handhelds or phones, it feels like Pokemon are next to us.
Maybe they could create an imaginary Pokemon game that lets players go into a virtual reality just for the movie.
