“ KPop Demon Hunters ” creator Maggie Kang recently told the BBC that she does not want to see her record-breaking Netflix animated movie getting the live-action treatment in the future.
“There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation,” Kang told the news outlet. “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.”
Since premiering in late June, “KPop Demon Hunters” has turned into a cultural phenomenon as Netflix’s most-watched movie in history. The film’s soundtrack topped the Billboard charts and made history as the first soundtrack album to have four songs in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lead single “Golden” has spent eight weeks and counting at No.
