this trailer looks absolutley amazing. I did some research and it seems that Casshern is popular anime series that has gotten a live action movie.. The website is mostly in Japanese (I think its Japanese, I could be wrong as I cannot read Kanji..

Anyone out there who can read it so we can find out when the release date is?

"CASSHERN live action movie. Release Date: Spring 2004. Budget: $5 million. Official site (with trailer!)"

thanks for the information

Yeah, that looks pretty bad ass.

Looks great! I saw the anime years ago (they used to call him "Casshan") and this looks like an awesome update.

Dragonball Z live action film... thats, um, an interesting idea.

are there no more Marvel or DC comics to transpose into live action films??

I for once, am glad they're gonna come up with a Dragonballz live action movie because the latest Marvel and DC comics films for the last year sucked horribily with the exception of Xmen 2: United.

The trailer looks stunning, this is a look forward.

The trailer looks amazing. I'd love to see this movie

Ive got a friend mailing me the DVD from Japan ;) YAAAH

nice, that looks pretty cool. I'm majorly hyped for Final Fantasy: Advent Children, even though its not live action.

Theres another Final Fantasy CGI movie!?!?!?! Must check this out

Very cool. Wonder if it will ever be released for the states with subtitiles. Any ideas???

WOW!

whens that going to be released?

I sure hope so. This looks like something I don't want to miss. I might check out the anime if ican find it.

NGE would rule too.

Never heard of it but the art looks badass! Anywhere I can actually download the trailer from? Rightclick-->saveas didn't work.

Same problem here. I can't even copy/paste it from my Temporary files- it isn't showing up.

The anime of it that I saw was a remake itself, and I didn't like it all that much. The movie looks too cool for words though, even without the little V on his forehead.

for sure one of the best trailers I've seen in a while.. and live action anime style.. very rockin!

That trailer looks crazy badass! I would really like to see this movie!

Kick ass looking movie! It'll be out this summer in Japan, I know where I'll be on opening day:D

Im making a background out of the images I got from the website and such. PM me if you want a copy of it when Im finished

You can use ASFrecorder to save the Windows MEdia trailer locally.

The story that's at the site is in another language. Anyone know where we can read up on the story in English?

I watched the trailer and still only have a basic idea of what the movie is about. Altho it does look kickass.

Someone help me.

Story
Kind old scientist makes an android
android gets hit by lightning
android goes crazy and decides to raise an army to kill everyone
everyone fights back but its not enough, android and his killer army are too strong
Kind old scientist's son takes part of the android into himself and fights back (he's the guy with the kickass visor)
commence anime fight sequences in live action

That looks awsome. I hope I get a chance to see it someday.

This movie looks very badass.

thanks for the link Spar

My ass just got kicked.

You guys should check out THE RETURNER, it's what a live action anime to me would be like. This however looks like they took it to another level.

DAMN!!! I LOVE JAPANESE FILMS!!!

(its things like this that make me think the matrix should've been made by a japanese director.)

I missed this when I went through the thread the first time, but no frickin way was this done on a $5 million dollar budget! Holy cow!

So it says it's supposed to come out April 24th. Will it be playing in any theaters in America or will we have to wait for it to be released as a foreign DVD?
Thanks
-T

I think that we're going to have to wait for it.. Unless they see how many of us would LOVE to see it! (YOU HEAR US???)


I don't know about this either.. The special effects are so slick.. BUT, the actors are new, there arent any superstars in it.. they might have been able to pull it off

it reminds me of strider from capcom.

looks really great, don't really want to wait forever to see it....i know it's going to take forever to get to where I am

There are now reviews up at IMDB.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0405821/

Check it out!!

I know that I want to see it.

V.

that looks cool, cant wait to see it

Any one know if it'll be subtitled?
