How would you make a live action hollywood Sailor Moon movie?

So I was watching some episodes the other day and I thought "what if they made a live action Hollywood Sailor Moon movie? and what would the story of Sailor Moon be like if it were adapted to real life?" I know there was the live action show in Japan which is far from real life lol. Just want to hear your guys' opinions. Thanks =)

So I was thinking that if this were Americanized and made into a live action Hollywood movie/ TV Series, the girls would be around age 17 or 18, I thought it would be more realistic if the girls were in high school, it's kind of weird thinking about 14 year old girls falling in love with a 20 something college kid (Tuxedo Mask).

Their costumes would be more alien looking but still sailor suits. Kinda like skin tight leather material with the skirt and the scarf/bandanna over it and gloves and boots with tiaras with the respected colors. I think that would look most realistic.

Then the rest of the story would be the same. Have the girls attending high school and the cats find them and tell them about their pasts or whatever.

Lemme know what you guys think and your welcome to add ideas.

They would have to cast Asian American Actors
Piper Curda would be my pick for Sailor Moon/Usagi she is 18 right now and of Korean Descent

She would just need a blonde wig

Natasha Liu Bordizzo,who was in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2 I could see as Rei/Sailor Mars
She is 21 and has a martial arts background

I guess the people behind the upcoming Ghost In The Shell movie could pull it off if they know anything about anime.

I wouldn't probably enjoy what Hollywood's current regimes would have to offer. Isn't the current action movies based on cartoons and comics enough to prove the point that Sailor Moon would have to be toned to fit the modern action movie design?

Part of why I like Sailor Moon is the magical princess themes combined with awesome monster designs. And most of that wouldn't be done that close in a modern Hollywood action movie.

I'd rather they just do more attempts in Japan, over there there is less phobia about letting live action be as cartoony as it's source intended itself to be. Something I don't think Hollywood is shown itself capable of delivering that well outside of a few glimmers of hope.
