MW live action movie planned

Postby putrocca » Mon Jun 02, 2008 9:51 pm



MW is certainly not near the top of the list of manga I'd expect to get a film, but the Japanese do love horror/suspense films. The writers of the Death Note movies are working on it, so it's a major production.

Talk about coming out of left field. I don't even know how that would work as a film--it might loose everything that made it interesting; or instead, it might get even creepier.

The great thing about the illustrated and animated genre is that you can do ANYTHING with it. There is a quote in the manga from Garai that goes something like "He (Yuki) can change himself into a woman to capture the souls of pure men...". I think Tezuka used that more in a subconcious manner, and not litteraly meaning that Yuki could, in fact, morph into a woman. But transformation is a big part in the manga, and depending on what a character feels or believes in can be reflected in their appearence. Because of this, Yuki was able to pose as so many people without anyone ever catching on. That would be nearly impossible to capture in a live action movie, and certainly unlike the manga, where sometimes even I didn't know who was Yuki and who wasn't.

I'm just so frickin' excited that MW is getting some attention!! It's my favorite manga! And Astro Boy, too, in the same year I believe? Wow.

I haven't seen the Death Note movie, but I hope if that I watch it, I can get a good visual of how MW will turn out.

SQQQUEUEUEUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

x3 Yay!


(sorry for the fangirl moment)

Edit:

Found some pics:

Well it probably will get released only in Japan. But for Australia at least there's a chance that the Special Broadcasting Services (SBS) Network will air it one day.
Do the U.S and U.K. territories have a similar sort of special television station?
