Scoop Feedback:
August 1, 1996... Rumiko Takahashi's hit creation may soon show up on the big screen, this scoop reporter informs us. [Scoop info and project announcement courtesy of anonymous; originally appeared in the July 31-August 6 Comic Shop News.]
September 24, 1996... We're told that the premise of the Rumiko Takahashi comic book is about a student martial artist who is cursed to change from male to female whenever he is doused with cold water. [Scoop submitted by 'ewilen'.]
November 4, 1997... Sorry to break the hearts of our Ranma fans but this scooper tells us the project has "pretty much withered on the vine at this point." According to the writer, selling the concept to a producer in Tinseltown proved to be a tad difficult "...since the loopiness and gender-bending goofiness of the original is precisely the kind of creativity that big-name people in Hollywood have massive allergic reactions to." No, really scooper, yell us what you think! [Dunked by 'The Gline'.]
