As with any other anime/cartoon/video game that would be turned into a Movie you always have to think 1) how popular and known is the title 2) is there the budget to pull it off 3) and are the originators going to have a hand in creating it. Take for example when Mortal Kombat the movie came out it was right at the peak of the Video games popularity and everybody even people who never played the game wanted to see the movie. But that is a double sided sword. Street Fighter, the one with Van Dam hurt the title in the long term, so did the He Man live action film in the 80s. Unless it was done really really good most anime is not recognized outside of anime fans. So say you mentioned Cowboy Bebop, Astro Boy, Macross and even speed racer to a non anime fan they are not going to know what you are talking about
As anime fans we are a very distinct group who is a form of sub-culture
