I'd hope for it to be a live action combination of the episodes "And Then There Were 10" and "Secrets" with several additional scenes. To many people are already assuming that the movie will be terrible based on the previous live action installments, but I can already tell you that they will be nothing alike.

For example, I presume that the film will have a budget of around $150,000,000, which means that we will more than likely see more spectacular settings, battles, and transformations.

So... you just said with the utmost certainty that this next live-action will be better than the previous ones because of your unsupported presumptions? Now, you can further this by giving some reasons -- ie. perhaps, it'll get a bigger budget thanks to it being for theatres and just straight for TV.

The original live action installments were both created by the same production crew, but this time the film will have a team of professionals working on the film. Some of you might not have known, but the producer of the film (Joel Silver) also produced Die Hard, The Matrix, and Lethal Weapon; some of the greatest action movies of all time.

A lot of more critical people can find those three movies to be the worst action movies of all time, contrary to that final statement. Not looking good...

While the film does appear to be stuck in DH several other great films have been stuck in DH as well, including 2002's Spider-Man.

Not all movies make it out of there (safely).

This isn't to say I don't want a great live-action movie. Opinions from Ben 10 fans are mixed between Race Against Time and Alien Swarm. I personally feel the latter is much better than most say, just lacking more alien screen time. The former feels like a complete Ben 10 experience in live-action, something that'll hopefully transfer over to the next show in a big way. I just hope their inspiration for designs and plot isn't derived from Omniverse. Given the status of Ben 10, though, I wouldn't be surprised...
