PRX, I can give credit where credit is due, and say, yes, Sailor Moon's dub did pave the way for anime in the US. I've said that many times myself in the past. But, that said, that doesn't mean that the dub need be referenced in any way in a movie. There's a difference between respecting what it did for anime, and respecting what it is. I can respect what it did, and hate what it is.
Hollywood may do love stories like Usagi and Mamoru all the time, but, when you consider that they have to fit Usagi and Mamoru's love story, the Senshi's developement, and the escalating conflict with Beryl and the Shittenou. Add in the backstory, if they feel they can fit it, and it's getting way too crowded for a single movie deal. Like I said in my suggestion, they don't have to have them fall in love in one movie. It can be set up, and left to develop later. I mean, if you think about it, any development of their love story will be pretty much moot, as it'll be erased at the end of the film, unless that would be something they changed.

Well I'd assume they'd probably use the dub names in any movie, unless they made up new ones. Since it would be for a US audience. Really it would be starting from scratch , so it wouldn't really have to be based specically on the dub or orginal. Since it would be based of the Sailor Moon Franchise itself. And really the actual mythology of the dub and the orginal are the same. Its the same show, just one has a lot of cuts and changes in diolouge.
If you do the Dark Kingdom in one movie, there is no way they'd be able to cover everything. So yes changes and cuts would have to made. Which could work if it is done right.
I could see Usagi and Mamoru's romance happening, as well as their backstory being mentioned. At least by the end of the movie. I think the generals would have to be mostly downplayed. The focus would have to be on Beryl as the villain.
The Sailor Soldiers would probably lose a lot too, which is why I suggested cutting a few of them out. But it probably could work. Moon is the star anyway.
But sure you could do multiple movies just based off the Dark Kingdom arch. Of course you want your first movie to be good enough that you get a chance to make more.
