Aaaaannnnddd let me guess. They're going to whitewash the live action while they're at it cause white people "sell more." Don't take this the wrong way, but I know what it's like to be an asian actor in that field and every time there's a roll I'm deserving off pops up, I don't get the part cause "I don't look the part that they're looking for." If they are going to make this into a live action, cast it for what it is. Mostly asians since the setting is Japan.

-____- I really hate this kinds of things... they make me go from | to / in seconds.

Sorry for invading this status but,

why would they ever make a live action SAO...in America on top of that.

Makes no sense.

That was one of my thoughts as well, but I'm not sure. I think it's too early to say. They could end up making a whole new set of characters or an AU that diverts from the things we've seen in the novels/anime.

What worries me most is how much money they'll be willing to put towards the production value in general. I can just imagine all of the horrible CGI it'll have if they don't put in the effort. >.>

As for why they'd even make it... Its a popular series so they probably figured people will watch it anyway. The series has already started invading through the video games. xD
