16 Oct - Maggie Kang, the creator of the hit Netflix animated feature, "KPop Demon Hunters" is no fan of the idea of a live-action version of the said movie.

In a recent interview with BBC, Kang ruled out the idea when asked about it, saying that a lot of the elements of the tone and the comedy that are only suited for animation.

"It's really hard to imagine these characters in a live action world. It would feel too grounded. So totally it wouldn't work for me," he said.

Her statement was echoed by her co-director Chris Appelhans, who said, "One of the great things about animation is that you make these composites of impossibly great attributes. Rumi can be this goofy comedian and then singing and doing a spinning back-kick a second later and then freefalling through the sky.

"The joy of animation is how far you can push and elevate what's possible. I remember they adapted a lot of different animes and often times, it just feels a little stilted."

In the same interview, Kang also said that she is excited for the potential "for more stories" involving Huntr/x the girl group from the movie.

"There's definitely more we can do with these characters in this world. And whatever it will be, it will be a story that deserves to be a sequel, and it will be something that we want to see," she added.
