Dr. Apex Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Fans of the original anime movie probably know there is a live action version coming out this coming spring. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219827/ I found out about a prescreening about it last week and jumped on the opportunity to see it. It's not entirely complete with a lot of visual elements not finished but otherwise the film is done. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and such to see it. What I can tell you is if you're a fan of the original like I am you will probably like this. Some I hear don't like Sarge being played by Scarlett Johanssen but I found her in the role just fine. Within 15mins I felt like I was watching the original film. It really captures the mantra of the anime and is true to it for all the parts that count. Definitely worth the watch when it comes out in spring 2017. Just thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattvr4 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hmmm interesting thanks for the heads up. I was, than I was not looking forward to this, but now my interest may be moving back towards "is looking" forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I liked it. It's rare for a remake or conversion if you will like this to live action without it being a "reimagining" or "reinterpretation" of the original like so many these days. This stays far more true to the original but still felt fresh to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
