Hi ... hope it's ok if a forum newbie starts a thread. (Dunno what the caste system around here dictates.) Smile

My question is this: If Hollywood was going to make a live-action film version of your favorite anime, and you were in charge, who would you hand-pick to portray the cast?

I have absolutely no idea whom I'd choose for Trigun...

For the live Eva film, I'd love it if they got Alais Resnais to direct. He'd be perfect, so it won't happen. Dominique Swain as Asuka, even though everyone else wants Kirsten Dunst (who'd be good, I'll grant you.) For the rest, I don't care; just cast good people who can play the parts.

Ugh...anyone but Kirsten Dunst would be good...

no kidding *barfs* she doesn't look like Asuka enough (I guess them makup artists will work wonders), and if her acting in the Eva movie would be like in Spiderman, I wouldn't go see it EVER

Here's a dream cast that some of us over at www.dragonballtoys.com came up with for Trigun:

Vash: Sean William Scott
Wolf Wood: Collin Farrel
Meryl: Christa Miller
Millie: Lisa Kudrow
Knives: Brad Pitt
Legato: Johnny Depp
Monev: Kane
Dominique: Rebacca Romijn-Stamos
Midvally: Keanu Reeves
Rei-Dei: Ray Park
BDN: Tyler Mane

That covers a good chunk of the characters.

What about Paul Walker for Vash? (even though I don't really care for Paul Walker) I could see him in a red coat and yellow glasses, choking down some doughnuts...

And, going back to the Eva live action, perhaps Jessica Bowman?

I think that is a comment on Robotech rather than a comment on the actors.

Why waste time casting real actors on a fake adaptation of three anime titles?

I think no cast would be the best. cause that would mean no film. and thats always the right answer.
