Josh Hutcherson as Kyo, I do like Josh Hutcherson but, Kyo needs to be taller, with orange hair and sort of have a misundestood look about him also his voice needs to be deeper. Josh Hutcherson is a good actor, but I dont think he can pull Kyo off.

Honestly most of these are kids, like Skandar Keyes as Yuki isn't he the boy who played Edmand in Narnia. Also Carly Mcclip as Saki, isnt she the one who did the dub for Sakura in Cardcaptors. S

Is this a joke.

reply

No, I'm serious. And most of the characters ARE either kids or teens, with some exceptions (such as David Hayter as Shigure). And yes, Carly McKillip WAS the voice of Sakura Avalon.

I just think the cast shouldnt be that young, also well known, I mean if Emma Watson really was Tohru I really couldn't take her seriously as I'd be thinking Hermione all the time. I'm not saying have adults as Tohru and the rest. But people not as well known, also Skandar Keyes and Josh Hutcherson look to young to be taken seriously and they don't even look like Yuki and Kyo.

Here's a tip for you: try getting HP out of thine mind when looking at this cast.

what about Ikuta Tohma [hana kimi live action] as Kyo

i drink because i'm a sensitive and highly strung person.

no thats why your co-stars drink.

reply

Nope.

"Are you trying to say "capisce"? Because it hurts my ears the way you say it."

reply

do you even know the guy. I think it's better to have not very well known actors. At least he sort of looks the part, if it was a Japanese film like Deathnote. If it is the guy I've seen on Google images under that name.

reply

I like mine done all-star.

reply

Sorry but Emma Watson as Tohru, no way. Also Jess Hutcherson as Kyo, he hasn't even got orange hair and he's far too young.

What about Allen Rickman, he would be perfect of Hatori

reply

Oh, I totally agree. I want Alan Rickman in Fruits Basket!

reply

No, no, no, no, no. NO. No.

reply

that's horrible.

Billy Corgan as Ayame?...seriously...are you blind?

Ayame-long beautiful hair, beautiful manbeast, flamboyant as sht.
Billy-No hair, he's not too attractive, and not that flamboyant.

I wouldn't watch a movie with Avril Lavigne either.

Spoilers for those who haven't read the manga....

William Moseley as Akito Sohma


Yeah, seeing how Akito is actually a girl, that woudln't work out too well.

I really don't agree with anyone in your cast.. none of them really fit for me.

What if I told you that I intend Akito in the live-action film to be like her anime counterpart (always male)?

>:(
"Are you trying to say "capisce"? Because it hurts my ears the way you say it."

reply

Hmmm.. then maybe I can see William Moseley in th part... if he died his hair black. Possibly. But I'd prefer for a live action movie to follow the manga, since the manga has so much more to it.

Because you were so nice about it, you can post your idea of a Fruits Basket live adaptation cast.

I'm sorry. I just didn't get what you just said. Perhaps you need to speak more clearly.

William Moseley as Akito Sohma


I'm sorry!


What if I told you that the adaptation I had in mind followed the plot of the manga but dropped the whole "Akito is a girl" thing?

>:(
"Are you trying to say "capisce"? Because it hurts my ears the way you say it."

reply

[deleted]

Who did you have in mind for the two of them? I can't have an all-teen cast of characters, I'm going to need at least one adult in the cast, and David Hayter happened to land the part of Shigure.

>:(
"Are you trying to say "capisce"? Because it hurts my ears the way you say it."

reply

Akito being a girl is sort of an essential part of the manga plotline. I doubt it could be done coherently if it was left out.

The world is a mess and I just... need to rule it.

reply

We could drop some of the sub-plots revolving around Akito to make room for a 3.5 hour long movie.

Maybe you should take that piece of getting Harry Potter out of your head. Maybe then you'll come up with some decent cast.

I think Robert Pattinson would make a great Yuki. He already has crazy fangirls!That and he has ice-prince down pat, but if you see him in interviews he's naturally quite sweet, so he could be brilliant as prince Yuki.

I don't know many teen actors, but I'm going to go with Ed Westwick for Kyo, or failing that James Macavoy (who could easily pull of being 16 and is pretty much the best actor of his generation and could make Kyo spiky and vunerable without tipping into being grating or unsympathetic.)

I have NO idea about Thoru.

I'm actually starting to think that Ed Westwick would make a better Haru. He can do sphynx-like pretty well and I have no doubt whatsoever that he could be a phsycopath.

I would say Elijah Wood for Momiji but he's starting to look a bit older now, so I'd say Bill Milner or Freddy Highmore.

Now for the adults: I'm thinking Gerard Butler or Hugh Jackman for Shigure (anyone handsome and charming basically.)

Martin Sheen for Ayame (because he can camp it up quite fantastically.)

And Cillian Murphy for Ritsu as he makes a stratlingly pretty woman.

I'll be back if I think of more.

Those are my principals. If you don't like them I have others.~Groucho Marx
