Ninja Scroll - Live Action Film

Appian Way (Leanardo DiCaprio's Production Co) is/was working on releasing a live-action version of Ninja Scroll, news on it is now 2+ years old. Anyone know what happened is still happening? T

They were also working on a live-action version of Akira; with Dicaprio as the lead, iirc.

as far as i know both films are still happening

Last I read, Dicaprio wanted Asian actors.

Seeing how Dicaprio is involved i'm not as apprehensive but i still think turning animated content into live action movies is a kiss of death, excluding the original Turtles movie of course :-)

Question is, who's a good Asian actor that could pull off Jubei.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

What Leo does with his personal time is his own business. 😉

He looks a bit boyish from the pictures.

He's far from it

check this movie out which he's in

YouTube video

and he was also in Onimusha 3 game.

I'm not sure Kaneshiro can pull it off. His look is great for the role, but his acting is kinda different to the character. The character (Jubei) is sleazy, carefree and unassuming. Kaneshiro's acting is generally "nervous" and worrying. The only role I've seen him where he isn't acting like this is Red Cliff, but you can see that it isn't the same if he portrays that type of acting when it comes to Jubei.

But, to be honest, I don't think there is anyone better for the role than him.

Tak sakaguchi & hideo sakaki are great in every movies they're in hideo sakaki sure a couple of roles would be perfect for either one

matter of fact i was just thinking Tak could be a perfect liu kang
& hideo a perfect scorpion ( mk on the brain lately )

Actually the only other person I can consider the role for Jubei is Yôsuke Eguchi, the main actor on Goemon. He has the same traits as Jubei when portraying Goemon in the movie namesake. The problem is it would make the movie another Goemon with a slightly different storyline.

I think I have seen this anime, pretty good. Is this the one with the poisoned chick, if you **** her you die!

Woah.

The anime was both ultra-violent and ultra-sexual. The movie, most likely will be a PG 13 mess. If it isn't PG13, they will loose money.

Considering the private funding and apparent intent to keep it somewhat close to the original.

I would believe DiCaprio would be a fool to not go for an R rating.

The hype alone would be huge and every adult with half a brain would watch it. But only if they went all out. I still can't belive directors these days can't make decent horror films with today's tech. Just boring films like Final Destination.

The studios will **** this up.

$20 says that it'll be PG-13.

It's probably true...and I hate Hollywood for it.
