What actors would you like to see in a live action version?


If they were making a live action version of "Gunsmith Cats" right now, who would you like to see in the leads? I'm not really sure about Minnie May, but there is one actress who think would be great for Rally, although it's a very odd choice. Are you ready for it?.....Jenna Malone. I know, it's weird, but there's just something about her. I can't quite figure what it is, though.

Pleasant dreams.- Mr. Parkman

You know what? As cool as a live action Gunsmith Cats movie would be (unlike NGE, I could really see it being done with real actors), there is one thing making me think that it's probably not such a good idea after all. What's the reason? Oh, just the fact that they're really going to have to skirt around the whole age issue. Plus, Minnie May's sexual history (which is already unsettling in the manga) will probably have to be completely eliminated. As good an artist and storyteller as Sonoda is, the man is an obvious pedophile and this fact will only become more apparent in live action. That's probably why a live action version has never been made. U.S. companies are too leery of the material.

I agree, it would drop right into oblivion, and if it didnt, it would be severely, severely butchered

Sorry for the late reply here. Even though we're in agreement here, why not add your own cast list just for fun? I also think Hugh Jackman would make a great Bean. Btw, what do you think about my "Jena Malone as Rally" choice?

High school, the workplace and the Internet. You can always find plenty of @ssholes there.

i think Natalie Portman or Kieras Knightly would be good for Rally, May is kinda hard but i thought maybe Ellen Page, i like Thomas Hayden Church for Bill and Milla Jovovivh for Ratinofe

I actually think Ellen Page would make a great Rally. She certainly has the right attitude for the part. Also, I'm not sure who those other two people are.

Oh, and since Rally is part-Indian, are there any Indian actressess out their that you think could play her.

well natalie portman was in the new star wars movies and kiera knightly was in the pirates of the caribean movies, and the reason i think ellen page would be good for may is besuae of her attitude in juno, i thought it was perfact for may

Yeah, Ellen sure does have that sassiness about her. I'll give her that.

reply

thats why i thought she would be good for may, i also thought maybe kate beckinsale or maybe even angelina jolie for rally, i dunno, i just think that rally is a tough action type character and i am thinking that an action type actress should play her role

Keep in mind that both Rally and May were in their late teens when the manga first started. Ellen Page, as we already know, is at that age where she can still convincly play a teen, but I don't think Jolie or Beckinsale are.

reply

oh i thought they were both older then that, i never read the manga just watched the show

i never read the manga


I figured as much. You should really read it. It's very good. Dark Horse currently has a series of omnibus editions available so it's pretty easy to find right now. Read it and you'll understand my doubts about a live action "Gunsmith Cats" movie ever being a reality.

i'll have to do that, i don't want any of my fav animie's to go live action, i thinki t would ruin it, but i do like talking about casting for them

I'll probably get yelled at for this but when I read the title to this post two names popped immediately into my head...Zoey Deschanel and Hayden Panettiere

reply

Jordana Brewster as Ralli Vincent
Hayden Panettiere as May Hopkins (good call gnapgnap)
Anneliese van der Pol as Becky Farrah (is that her last name)

reply


Gray- Chiwetel Ejiofor

Bean Bandit- Hugh Jackman


reply

The Rock for Bean Bandit since if you look at them both, they look a lot alike.

reply

I like the Ellen Page as Rally idea, although she lacks brown skin

maybe they could paint her brown "Fisher Stevens in Short Circuit" style? I'm sure THAT would go over well
