The cover of this year's 31st issue of Weekly Shounen Jump magazine, to be released on July 4, has announced that the parody comedy manga Gintama will be getting a live-action movie slated for 2017. Yuuichi Fukuda will be directing and writing the script of the movie under Warner Bros. Entertainment, who also produced the animated Gintama films in 2010 and 2013. Actor Shun Oguri will play the role of the main character, Gintoki Sakata.

The Gintama series, which has announced that it will enter its final arc by this year, was created by Hideaki Sorachi and began serialization in December 2003. The series has received various anime adaptation, with the most recent TV series ending in March of this year. Gintama OVAs were announced to be bundled with the 65th and 66th manga volumes this year.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1527941

and look at what those bunch of stupid people will make......
Gintama.....Live Action.....

i don't even see a single fucking merit in it. just how are they gonna make something like that into a live action, it's beyond me. i don't even understand what the fuck are they thinking. they just care about money. they don't even fucking care about the franchise anymore. what an asshole seriously.

I was expecting this. Shounen Jump did similar things last year. First "Naruto: The Musical", then "Bleach: Rock Musical". Not to mention the horrible live action adoptation of "Death Note".

But... why? Why!? The comedy doesn't really translate to live action...!!!!

Yeah that's my biggest problem too! Gintoki with a different voice... Never. All the other characters too, by the way

Damn why would anyone normal even go to watch this if he isn't a fan of the series. Who's gonna be their audience? Just series fans? What plot will they do? Action or comedy?

Plus Gin won't be played by Sugita, so why even bother.

I don't understand why people are bashing this before it is even out. I for one am hyped as fuck for this movie, because Shun Oguri is an amazing actor, and he will do justice to Gintoki. The only thing that matters is if the director and screenwriter are good. If we get the Rurouni Kenshin treatment, or Bakuman treatment it will be an amazing movie.

A live action adaptation does not lessen the quality of the anime/manga. No need to get upset about something like that.

No one says Avatar the last Airbender is bad because the live action movie sucked.

I cannot bring to deceive myself and say that this is not going to end up as a flop but I guess taking it as how Sorachi did can make it out lol.

I mean at least this won't be as cringy as the others announced recently (Tokyo Ghoul, Fullmetal) because Gintama doesn't rely on many special effects that will be ruined by the low budget nature of the Japanese film industry. Could have potential, but I'm not gonna watch it regardless.

Disagree completely. In my opinion, Gintama's sense of humour is for the mentally immature. It's only going to seem worse in a medium meant for all ages.

Atleast hope it brings good money to the franchise so that it can expand. As a huge fan of the series, I'll still be checking this out

Live action adaptations will become bearable if they either decide not to do any more live action adaptations or just dub the voices with original anime VA's...

We were waiting for it to confirm. One month ago was when it was announced for 2018 and the publisher (official) denying the announcement.

Not arguing about the source material, I'm not the biggest fan of it either, I was just saying how the style of Gintama would work better in a live-action format than the others. Due to 'most' of the cast being human and not too many grandiose power-ups needed to be shown with special effects.
