They are making a live action "Rurouni Kenshin"!!!!! The lovely, funny, absolutely deadly Kenshin is going to be in the flesh! I have so many sweet memories form my countless hours of reading this manga and I always wished they would make a movie out of it, and now they have!
Aaargh, you cannot imagine how long I have been waiting to hear this...feels like a lifetime....
Anyway, I can't wait for the release next year, in the mean time I am gonna suck out the marrow of the picture below of Takeru Satoh who is Kenshin in the movie...suck...suck...suck...

I've read probably 10 volumens (from 12 published in my country) and I'm a big fan of Kenshin&company *___*
ReplyDeleteI saw Sato in many dramas til now (even am translating one :D) and... I think he could play his role pretty good, 'coz he's not a bad actor. Just he don't look like a Kenshin somehow...
But I hope, the movie will be a big success and every fan of manga will be content with this adaptation...
It is gonna be real intersting how he pulls of the "oro!". I think that the role as Kenshin is a highly demanding part since he has to have an innocently ridiculous side and a deep dark hitokiri side - I am really looking forward to see it. Also I wonder what other characters they will have, I would love to see Saito and Sanosuke! and please, please let them have Soujiro...he is so creepily cute with his mental issues...
ReplyDeleteWOW I've never seen this but I have heard of it awhile ago I was thinking that pic looks familiar lol
