| I was browsing around LJ and, by chance, found a fan's lj in which i found THIS: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469469/ I am totaly excited about this! But i just hope the choice of cast doesn't ruin it! Plus, after the writing of the screen play, there will be TONS of details and characters left out! Upseting, but hopefully it'll still be nice.. I just hope they don't get an odd cast, like Morgan Freeman as Dr Tenma or Keanu Reeves as Johann or somthing...o.O Excited?Worried?Curious? What do you guys think? |
| Nyoro~n! :3 |
| OH GEASS NO!!! The best manga ever screwd by goddamn Hollywood... |
They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. |
| Well I dont think is a really good idea to adapt monster into a single movie... |
 |
| Was it on a personal LJ or monster_closet? :3 I'm really excited to see who they cast--and nervous! Also, from what I heard, it will be a trilogy--not a single movie. :D |
 |
| I heard about this too somewhere on the net... I have mix feelings about this, I just hope they don't ruined a good anime, lets hope they can pull it... |
 |
| Hmm, not happy about this. Hollywood has a bad habit of screwing up good ideas and doing bad ideas well. Also, who could possibly play the part of Johan? Who is like unto the Monster? Well, it might turn out well, but I am sceptical to say the least. |

| I was thinking that the cast would have to either (a) be picked extraordinarily well or (b) choose no-name actors who are quite talented. Although, I think Cillian Murphy could pull off Johan. If he had a twin. :P |
| |
| I rather look forward to the 20th Century Boys trilogy! But I hope the monster movie will at least be good. |
| sounds interesting but lemme guess jet li or jackie chan for tenma :/ |
 |
| I seriously doubt they'll cast an action star as Tenma. I'm still hoping for a non-famous cast. :P |

I said the same thing! xD I think a trilogy would be enough time to get the important things in, though. |

| ................ poor Monster. to be ruined by U.S.A. *sigh* |
| Even with a trilogy, it might be a bit squished together. They'll obviously be taking out and rearranging many plot elements, but It's hard to picture it in movie form. I'll hope for the best though. |
| It needs to be a decalogy, or they will undoubtly cut away something great. |

| Monster redone as a movie is doomed to fail, I just dont feel they can cover the complexity of monster in 2 hours! |
| I don't care if it sucks or not, I want to see it! Monster was very good as a manga and as an anime. A US movie... hell, I'll watch it regardless. |
 |
| who do you guys/gals think should play Johann? i think the scarcrow guy from batman begins would do well |
| I'm excited for it and I hope that they don't screw this one up. Would be a terrible shame to such a great series like Monster if it did. |
| Wasn't this canceled or something? |

| I doubt this will be on par with the Anime/Manga. Sure, it will become better known, but if it will be for the better or the worse...I fear it will be the latter one. |
| Cillian Murphy would do a great Johan, I agree on that. I found this on IMDB a while ago, of course it's not the actual cast, just some ideas. Some are really funny: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469469/board/nest/130027874 Experience teaches us live action movies are always a great dissapointment (remember Keanou Reeves chosen to play Spike!) and I really have no faith on this one either. |
 |
| Woody Allen as Franz Bonaparta ???? That must be some kind of joke... I´m really against this movie (or decalogy, or whatever). "Who is like unto the beast?" Nobody can play Johan Liebert ... "What do you want to kill with this gun?" "A Devil..." |
| Of course it's a joke. What do you think "of course it's not the actual cast" means? |
|

Warsaw said: Of course it's a joke. What do you think "of course it's not the actual cast" means? Sorry I didn´t read your text, only saw the link and then text on IMDb. I agree with your opinion, that live action movies are always a great dissapointment. So I was really angry when I discover, that Monster will be cinematize. |
| Ooh, this'll be fun! Um.. casting.. I don't know, like, any names, but Anna strongly reminds me of Valentine from Ender's Game (like how caring and different from her brother she is, but she still loves him). So..maybe Ellen Pompeo? And Kenichi Matsuyama (who played L in the movies) as Tenma? |

| I don't like the idea of a movie. Wouldn't a mini-series be a better idea? |
ashura said: http://blog.naver.com/joung_/80062528816 lol whoever made the comparing, did really great job. Wow. I like the Lunge. I'm not sure about Cage as Grimmer though.... |
| There not going to cast Jet Li or Jackie Chan unless its a Hollywood movie. Even there there is a big possibility they would go for a white guy or an under-the-radar Asian actor (depending on what they're aiming for). |
 |
| This is absolutely great :D |
 |
| no movies, what if they screw up big time?!?!!?!? |
| Lol. I Read all of Your Reply's but I'll give you alot of Tips Okay? =P Were 2010 Now. So I really dont get this thing. They always say alot of things about it but they didnt do it yet. Some Peoples Reponses to this Forum: Announed on 2005 (Fail. Hard to say they're doing it) Been Talking about this Movie for Over 3 Years (Also a Fail) And USA / HollyWood (W/e) They Pretty Much Suck at Making Anime Movies Dragon Ball Evolution : Could of been Better & More Action & not just Main Battle of Evil Piccolo. (Which was Fast & Kinda Sucked) Blood + : Pretty Good I guess Only Some Special Effects Sucked & I didnt see the Anime at all but for some reason I'm sure they didnt really follow the Anime Or just not Yet /Damn it... I cant remember any other Ones...) But They're pretty Good at Making "Marvels" & not Anime Oh there also Planning on Making Death Note. With Maybe Zac Efron xD (Get More Info on the "Bleach" Club) http://www.animevice.com/movies/ (A site of all Anime Movies List) Only They also have Anime Movies meaning with no Actor. Not cinematic. You'll See They're also Coming Out "Avatar: the Last Airbender" Pretty Soon. It kinda Looks Good & I Hope it is. Only Anng is fucking Ugly xD. The actor Playing him |
