Live-action “Rurouni Kenshin” movie confirmed, starring Sato Takeru

There have been rumors of a live-action “Rurouni Kenshin” movie since last summer, but now the project is officially confirmed. Actor Sato Takeru (22) will star under director Otomo Keishi (“Ryomaden”), with Warner Bros. producing.

22-year-old actor Takeru Satoh (Kamen Rider Den-O, Rookies, Beck, Ryōmaden) will star in a live-action film adaptation of Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin samurai manga next year. Keishi Ōtomo will direct Satoh on this new film, just as he did in last year's NHK historical television series Ryōmaden. Warner Brothers Pictures Japan is producing with its president William Ireton, while Studio Swan (Paradise Kiss) is in charge of the actual film production.

The Sankei Sports newspaper adds that the staff aims to release the film internationally and eventually make a series. This will be the first live-action adaptation of the manga.

Producer Shinzō Matsuhashi commented, "Satoh has the looks and stature to be a proper Kenshin." Watsuki added that when this project was just starting, he and his wife were discussing who should play Kenshin, and decided that Satoh topped the list.

Satoh himself said that he was a huge fan of the original manga when he was in elementary school and when the manga was still running. "It was the manga that everyone in my generation knew." He added that he and his friends would play around by pretending to sword-fight. Satoh began intensive training in sword-fighting earlier this month, and filming will begin in July.

Live action Samurai X :white:


And the actor is a Kamen Rider actor :white:


:TdT:
 
This...is going to be so bad.
Furthermore, it will have Japanese actors in it, which makes it even worse.
 
^ the story takes place in japanese, the characters is japanese ....


why do u want to use non japanese actors ? :uh..:
 
Because the great majority does not know how to act. They are as forced as Mexican actors (although I do not believe you guys have ever watched Mexican soap operas to understand).
 
^i might disagree with you on that.coz Japanese never seem to ruin (well almost) anime to live action projects.and it's just fitting that actors are Japanese

oh and i watched numerous Mexican telenovelas since it's showed so much in philippines
