Live Action Version...


...is what I'd like to see. But not if the americans take over it. I just really want to see a live action Japanese version of a live action Mai-Hime Movie! Any new on that?

...What better place then here, what better time than now...

Emma watson as Natsuki? I was thinking Jordana Brewster. Watson would be good as Shizuru. What about Milla Johovich as Midori. "I'm seventeen." yeh ryt

go ahead, struggle, i'll just make it hurt worse

What did you think about my casting Rupert as Mai Tokiha?

Natsuki as Jordana Brewster I was thinking the exact same thing, she has that look to her tho she might be a bit too old to play the role. Demi Moore or Jennifer Connelly could play Natsuki's mom. Emma Watson as Shizuru I'm not sure of, as I've only seen her in Harry Potter, but I'll be so glad if they cast Shizuru as a brit, or an Australian. I hate the way they dub her as a southern girl in the English version. As far as Mai is concerned I think someone like Emma Stone or something, very bubbly and upbeat. Jack Black would probably make a good Sakomizu, Abigail Breslin would maybe make a good Mikoto, Dakota Fanning as Shiho or maybe (I'm sure she'd be good villain considering all her roles are 'good' characters. ) maybe Chiaki Kyuriama as Miyu. Chris Evans would be a good Tate, Rumer Willis or Lizzy Caplan as Nao. For Haruka I'm not sure, perhaps Racheal McAdams. Gabrielle Christian as Yukino. Reito maybe Robert Pattison. Rachel Leigh Cook as Midori. Kristina Kreuk as Chie. Jill Ritchie as Aoi. Lacy Chabert as Mashiro, maybe Zack Effron as Takumi. Diane Gaidry as sister Yukariko.

Though, I agree there really should be a Japanese live action movie (I haven't heard much if they're going to make one) and not a movie taken from American makers ala Dragon ball.

Ah haa I found some one who looks like shizuru in real life, but it would have to be the Viola meister cz this girl isn't highschool age. check it out.
