In reality, quite a few Manga series have resulted in both Anime, and life action Do-Ra-Ma TV series or movies in Japan... Among the one's I'm aware of are...
- Great Teacher Onizuka
- You're Under Arrest
- Steel Angel Kurumi
- Death Note
- Gokusen
- Tesujin 28
- Initial D
so this isn't exactly a new idea...
