I have heard this some time ago in a different board and finally Ryoutarou Nogami will be Sword Form minus Momotaros! *cue in the original Double Action song sung in old Japanese style* Koboreochiru suna no you ni dare mo toki tomerarenai Sono sadame okasu mono "boku ga" "ore ga" keshite miseru kanarazu Jibun no naka dare ka ga sawagidasou to shite iru Ore no toki wo matte 'ru seigyo dekinai shoudou Right now me wo somuketara rekishi ga kuzurete 'ku Kaze sae mo sakende iru "mezame yo atsuku".... |

| So who is going to play Hiko? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Not sure about this...with a decent script it could work, just don't butcher it... |

I know your point was to point out how stupid confucius and a lot of people in this thread are for not reading anything beyond "warner" but upon seeing Kenshin I couldn't resist saying it. |
| o.o; I don't... I know it's going to be about the Edo Peroid, but I can mostly imagine it as just plain fun and special effects. Not a winner of a movie. Oh, and bring Aoshi ;) |

Pixy-Stix said: Anyone who says the movie will suck because of Westerners is a weeaboo/communist. You don't have to be from the same country as the character you're playing to be awesome. Just ask Hugh Jackman, Australian as Logan/Wolverine, Canadian. If the movie sucks, it'll be because it sucks. Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender don't suck because Asians were replaced by Westerners. They suck because they're terrible movies. Seconded with every fiber of my being. |

| Warner bros dont have any fresh movies ? always marvel & Anime movies >> |
 |
| A live action would be a little weird. Not expecting anything big but I hope it works out well! |
     |
| Please don't suck and please, for the love of all that exists, use asian actors. |
| Hate to say it but this whole thread is filled with idiots. >.< |
 |
| oh no not Takeru Satoh. I saw him play Koyuki in BECK live-action. he doesn't look fitting for action roles and he looks like someone who never exercises. i'm worried about the action scenes. i'm a big fan of samurai movies and I don't want some weakling poster boy playing the role of a legendary ronin. :( |
 Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is difficult for man to live completely without hope. In other words, man has no choice but to live with despair as his companion. |

So hopefully he will be okay in this role :) Moreover, Kenshin himself looks like a weakling, that's his speciality :D |

Ninety five percent of the time he is a pasty shoujo boytoy who gets beat up by girls and children. kindergraph said: jesus christ, do you people not read past the headlines? THIS IS A JAPANESE FILM FROM A JAPANESE DIRECTOR WITH JAPANESE ACTORS. the involvement of warner bros. doesn't make it any more american since it's being produced by its JAPANESE branch. You expect people to read before bitching? Madness man... pure madness. |

Hercule said: Not sure why everybody is surprised about this because this news is from august 2010. It's cause the news is pretty much to announce Sato Takeru is the lead, which also confirmed the rumors of a live action... but OP decided to focus more on the fact there will be a movie.

| Takeru Sato was announced as the lead...back in 2010. Also: oh no not Takeru Satoh. I saw him play Koyuki in BECK live-action. he doesn't look fitting for action roles and he looks like someone who never exercises. i'm worried about the action scenes. i'm a big fan of samurai movies and I don't want some weakling poster boy playing the role of a legendary ronin. :( Someone doesn't know about Den-O. Or Kenshin, for that matter. |

| Speed Racer is the only anime adaptation that didn't suck and actually embraced the medium fully. All these other adaptations keep changing so much shit to make the story 'realistic' which is completely besides the point and makes things really stupid. |

Not to mention the rumors about an american Death Note with Zac Efron. *facedesk* Oh good God. =_=l|l On the plus side, I have a feeling that thay could pull off this movie relatively well as long as they try to keep the special effects to a bare minimum and just stick to good old fashioned sword fighting. It's all I ask. |

I won't be crawling to see this, but I love Kenshin so this is somewhat exciting. I wonder how they'll pull off the action scenes with finesse. Will wait for the reviews haha. Double Agree. Fyndra said: As a huuuuge fan of RuroKen I can hardly wait to see this movie! There were some rumours about it last summer, and I'm so happy that they were proved to be true! I know adaptations like this might turn out bad as well, but since Sato Takeru is an excellent actor (plus Watsuki himself said he was the top on his list of "who could play Kenshin", so... :D) and the director did an awesome job on Ryoumaden I think it's gonna be all right this time :) This year is truly amazing for us, Kenshin fans, even if we don't get anything else (come on, re-releases, game, new anime, live action movie...) I think we cannot complain about this anniversary. The only thing left would be a manga, and a nice one-shot would be so great indeed... I wouldn't mind a break in the Embalming series :)) Triple agree. And I also agree with those that said some of the comments on here were posted by idiots that don't read past the deadlines... or don't know what a communist is. |
| ...at least its a Japanese cast. |

| Thank goodness it's not an American version! |
| Hope it doesn't turn out like what happened to DBZ, that was plain wrong. |
 |
| I always loathe live action adaptation when I've seen the 2D version first. In Kenshin's case: 1. No 3D actor can look half as BAMF as these two: 2. Any actor playing this guy would just look silly. Or scary for all the wrong reasons: 3. This look would risk being lulzy done by a 3D person. 4. How can we have Kenshin without this? (Well, okay, if they do a Tsuiokuhen adaptation, we could. But I still love my Oro-Kenshin.) Alright, I'm done nitpicking. Either way, not looking forward to it. But more money for Watsuki, so yay for him. As long as the anime project mentioned previously remains on. Also, serial releases? |

| Duhuhu... |
| Satoh looks like he my pull it off as Kenshin. I would love to see this but I hope they don't mess it up. |
| And slowly, you come to realize... It's all as it should be... |

Part of me says that not exepecting much will make me not get disappointed. But part of me screams "RUROUNI KENSHIN" because it is and it will always be my favorite manga. Hope they find a good actor for playing Saitou, because I hope to hear "Gatotsu". Any news on the plot of the movie? |
| Lol, will suck. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Ah, OMG How did I not find this until now?! At first, seeing the title, my response was "Oh, No ... Dx" But seeing the words "Takeru Sato" made me feel much better! :D Teehee, some of the posts made me laugh. Just laugh. xD |

Beatnik said: Have you guys seen the live-action trailer? Linky! I don't know what to think. Main actor looks too generic though. I'm kinda curious as to what generic means, here. I mean he resembles Kenshin. |
| Jumping in Headfirst - I hear reading it causes immortality. Warning. Reading may not actually cause immortality. |
| Generic means bland, a pretty-boy. He resembles Kenshin in that he's wearing his costume and has his hair long, but other than that he doesn't scream 'Kenshin' to me at all. We haven't heard him speak or act though, so from this short footage we can't judge his performance, but so far I'm just not feeling anything. However, every trailer that never shows the main actor speaking is actually hiding a bad performance, and ultimately a bad film. I.e - The Last Airbender, etc, etc. So my hopes for this film aren't high sadly. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| my best friend is a kenshin fanatic, he will love to hear this news |
| Fiction Responsibly |
| Let us not put the cart before the horse there DarkMorpher-san. Who knows what will come out in this version. Either it will make or break the fans' expectation or otherwise a third option. And one more thing...  Courtesy of Soukichi Narumi (Kouji Kikkawai) aka Kamen Rider Skull... who will be Ryoutarou Nogami/ Kamen Rider Den-O (Takeru Sato) Himura Kenshin's opponent Jinei Udoh. |
| Hmmmmmmmmm, I'm a bit worried... you see what I mean? |
| I've never watched Kenshin but...Yay? |
