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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
