They better do this nice, and have a huge budget for special effects, else it's predestined to fail...
Just my 2 cents...
anyway, that gantz dvd presentation sucks completly lol, i've never seen anything so bad lol i think, in a dvd at least.
anyway, gantz will be really hard to put in live action but, there's always hope
And the actors..... Kei's actor should be fired; he completely doesn't give off the Kei vibe.

Nagase Tomoya as Makoto Majima (the guy getting pushed - He'd totally be a better Kato)
Kubozuka Yosuke as Takashi (King of G-Boys) (Guy with blond hair and blood lip - Would make a kick ass Kei)
Here's another Kei-ish scene :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMjJFQzLEiA
I haven't read the manga myself, but didn't they take a long time before deciding to make an LA movie, I mean, Gantz was always a big hit manga wasn't it?
That and they're worried about censoring as well
Love it!
It'll be some stupid, watch aliens get exploded movie...
i dont think it will be successfull. just my views
I strongly am pro japan than hollywood and would take japanese actors for it over americans any day >.> EVEN if they are the ones above...
on the one side, I think... oh god it's gonna fail... but then I think, it's not done by americans! :D so it might be good...
and on the other side... A GANTZ MOVIE!!! SWEET!
As for IWGP... Yes! Nagase Tomoya is perfect as Katou... tall and righteous looking... Umm... not so sure about Kubozuka Yosuke... but I really like him as an actor... that's before he jumped off a building and still had acting jobs anyway. Hmm... if you think about it... may be Yosuke's real life right now will fit the role of Kei in Gantz pretty well actually!
Or maybe it was just the way the picture was taken.
By the way, the Gantz DVD is horrible. If they make anything close to that level of graphical effects, I'll have to kill the director with a level 2 gantz gun and pancake him.
Great timing, too - The Gantz series has just stepped into a whole new level, and it's now going live. Hope it doesn't go too bad.
*Crosses fingers*
Can they really find enough good-looking, big-breasted Asians women who can act?
1) Prepare for censorship
2) Prepare for butchering of the original manga
3) On second thought, the original manga is really not that good. It's just drawn differently, I'm still perplexed why so many people still like it when typically whole chapters are dedicated to a character panting heavily and maybe firing one shot at something to then explode into a graphical gore display that's physically impossible.
I expect this to be B-grade at best with 3D monsters looking like robots in costumes and completely unbelievable "scared-out-of-my-mind" acting.
Why don't they ever turn something good into live action? I'd freaking explode if I heard, for example, Hajime no Ippo was becoming a live action.
Ken'ichi Matsuyama in Death Note 1&2, though a limited release. Same with DMC. While kind of underground in North America, he does have some international fame.
Ninomiya starred in "Letters from Iwo Jima", that Clint Eastwood war film. Add to that his Johnny's popularity, and then you have two popular movie actors with serious experience.
They also are quite good "actors". The issue with most choices in modern Japanese film is that they choose actors and actresses that look like the characters, but have absolutely no clue how to act. I would rather have two different looking characters but a solid movie than a bunch of pretty no-names stumbling through lines for two hours. If this is done well, I will probably enjoy it.
bittman has a great point though...
