They should make a Lupin the 3rd Live action movie
It would be an enjoyable action comedy movie for the family, IMO.

Totally. Obviously, due to the thing to do with adaptations nowadays, it would be a reboot, explaining how they all met.
Here's who I'd cast:
* Ryan Reynolds or Will Arnet as Lupin
* ??? as Goemon
* Hugh Jackman as Jigen
* Beyonce (don't look at me like that) or Monica Belluci (on any other beautiful Italian goddess) as Fujiko (I see her as someone Italian, but if they make her black, Beyonce is the only good choice)
* Bruce Campbell or John C. McGinley as Inspector Zenegata
They already have made a live action.

And there is supposedly a new live action Lupin III movie in the works set for release in 2009.

It's a cool idea. With a live action adaption of the anime. More people will know Lupin exsists. And maybe we'll see more DVDs of the TV and Movie series.
shareBruce Cambell as Zenigata is brilliant. I think Jeniffer Love Hewitt should be Fujiko though.

I'm probably gonna be dissed big time for this, but the ONLY actor I would consider to play Lupin in a live-action film: Adam Brody. I don't care if he's an ex heartthrob from a has-been teen soap opera: the role fits him like a glove. He's got the thin build, snarky face and incredible wit and energy to spare. He would be the PERFECT Lupin.
