Rurouni Kenshin Live Action Movie Trailer

[aeka]

Don't know how many Rurouni Kenshin fans are on here (I'm certainly one of them), but for those of you who haven't heard, Japan has made a live action film adaptation of the popular manga series, and they finally released a trailer!





For legality, two pages from my favourite story arc from manga:

Remember to read RIGHT to LEFT:




And this is why Tomoe will forever be my favourite Kenshin girl. God I sure hope they make this story arc into a live action movie as well.

The movie's got the black hat guy, the opium dealer, and Saito too; that's enough antagonists for one movie, certainly.

I love that we've got dude from Kamen Rider Den-O as Kenshin; oh, the same actor jokes that'll ensue..

[darkblade]

The Imagin got tired of his shit and dumped him there when they took New Den-O as their main rider.

[marco]

Oh goodness, I just noticed that! Ryotaro!!
It really will be the same jokes and everything. x'D

[ar_feiniel]

It's going to have saitou too?! *dies*

[shanejayell]

Oooh. not bad looking at all.

[silverzeo]

SWEET!

[skjam]

It's a samurai drama, mostly...it could work very well in live-action.

[big_daddy_d]

Awesome. That is all that needs to be said.

[marco]

I was a bit skeptical when I saw screencaps before, but it actually does look like it's going to be good. And it has Takeru Satou. I'm looking forward to it~.

Thanks for sharing the trailer! (And that scan, heh.)

[liara_shadowsong]

Huh. That looks interesting.

[skalja]

Not nearly as goofy as I was expecting! Also, Tomoe is the queen of deadpan snark.

[aeka]

Also, Tomoe is the queen of deadpan snark.

God yes. Too bad this didn't carry over to the OAV with its serious tone and all. But she was still awesome. ♥

I was a big fan, "growing up" and all :P
And that trailer even surprised me, I didn't knew!
Woah! Looking sharp and nice^^

I have 8 months to learn Japanese so that I can fully understand what's going on in the movie. Can't wait for this to get released here in Japan. And cue the merchandise!

[darkblade]

There will be fan subs, it's got a major Toku actor and is based off a well known anime.

[jelly_ace]

Yeah, but I wanna experience it on the big screen. :)

[ar_feiniel]

I love rurouni kenshin. I've often thought about posting it here.

[aeka]

Oooh! Please do. :)

[eyz]

Always loved Kenshin!^^
One of my all-time favorite mangas! :D

Didn't like most of his OVAs (too dark for my taste..) or anime adaptations (too much fillers) though..

It's the first time I've heard about this movie! Can't wait!
Knowing French otakus (I live in Switzerland) I guess this will be released on DVD less than 3 months after it srelease in Japanese theaters :P

Oh man, they managed to make a teal battleground with an orange sword. No matter how much I hope, it never ends.

Yes, the plague of Orange/Blue color correction needs to stop...

[glprime]

I loved at the end of that article, where he color corrects famous works of art.
