| Don't know if I'll watch it, it might be a great or terrible adaption. Guess we'll have to wait and see. |
SagaraYuzuru said: I was afraid when it said Warner Bros, because then I expected another DB live. But then again, Rurouni Kenshin cannot be done in that type of fashion, since everything in the series screams "Japan". I'm glad that they use Japanese actors, but will this be good? No idea. same here! The word "Warner Bros" worry me... I won't watch it, but let's hope the actors will all be JAPANESE when they are supposed to be JAPANESE! |
| sigh......another one..... whatever happened to trigun....akira.....bleach? whatever... |
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. Do you seriously think it's the same thing if a white guy of one nationality plays a white guy of another nationality? Particularly if there's NOTHING inherently nationalistic about the character? The first sign DBE and TLA were going to suck were when they were too lazy to find people of asian descent and just went and got more white people. Avatar is DRENCHED in asian culture, and you went and picked a bunch of white people? Already I know you don't care. Anyway. Takeru Sato is an amazing actor. I've seen him play six different roles in the same show, all to great effect. He'll make a good Kenshin. Just don't screw up the action scenes. |

Clearly you do not know what a communist is, and if you do, then shame on you for using the phrase incorrectly. Fun Fact about Wolverine, in the original pilot for the 90s X-Men cartoon he had an Australian accent. Now on the subject at hand. Satou Takeru eh? Well that's promising. If the director is good then perhaps this movie will be too. |
| As long as the actor is asian then there's no problem |
 |
| But it's more fun to see everyone bitch over things. -looks at the comments- Ah shit my wish came true. The entitled bitching remains! |
| I'm planning on watching this. I hope it isn't cheesy. |

| I really hope this works out. |
Justinijan said: this is the best i can hope for.Yeah i hope that the movie will be watchable ! |
| hmm i'll definitely check this one out |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| Hey, if its made in Japan and funded by Warner Brothers, I have high hopes for this one. It should be a while till it comes out though, unfortunately. |
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. lol this is what I was just about to say. Don't forget it was Warner Bros Japan who distributed the Death Note movies. I thought it'd be obvious just by seeing who is going to play Kenshin. |
| 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 :)) |

carosene said: I approve. Massively. But I must post a RuPaul quote: "Don't fBEEP it up." 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. |

| TAKERU WILL BE AN AMAZING KENSHIN. OMG OMG OMG. and i love the amount of fail in the comments right now. it's a japanese movie. they do remakes of manga/anime ALL THE TIME. this has nothing to do with amurrrika. Confucius said: Great, some white guy is going to play Kenshin Very white indeed  |

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 ;) |

| 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?

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.
