Monster to get Live-Action adaptation

...um...
...huh. This came out of left field. I'm very intrigued. Also, look at the first paragraph, some of you will approve of the writer.
I loved 20th Century Boys and was looking forward to buying the whole manga but volume 3...stopped existing in this country basically so I gave up on that. I was gonna get back into it eventually despite that but this...this might be something worth seeking out.

Re: Monster to get Live-Action adaptation
Haven't seen both the anime and manga yet. Does the series have potential to become a live-action TV series?

Re: Monster to get Live-Action adaptation
From what I've read of the manga, it would easily be one of the most likely to succeed live-action adaptations. Not Japanese heavy, not magic or sci-fi or anything.ShiraKiryuu wrote:Haven't seen both the anime and manga yet. Does the series have potential to become a live-action TV series?

You too? Wow...that's unexpected.

A good live action adaptation - there is almost nothing anime-esque about this series
Kind of curious how they'll deal with the languages. Hire a Japanese man who can speak German, make the entire cast speak German, with english subtitles?

"To get" is a bit of a stretch at the moment. Wait until it's officially greenlit rather than just in planning stages.developing a potential series

Re: Monster to get Live-Action adaptation
You inadvertently answered your own question there. I will be utterly shocked if the lead actor here is Japanese, because that doesn't really seem to be a key component of the series. It's not really a race thing, but more a matter of availability. The only major male Japanese actor I see around Hollywood at the moment is Masi Oka. I don't see him taking the lead in this, so the options are already looking like slim pickings. Another Asian actor may be able to fill in, but the fact that the guy was Japanese was relatively arbitrary from the six or so episodes I watched a few years ago, so casting him with a white actor isn't going to be much of a tearjerker.ranger wrote:A good live action adaptation - there is almost nothing anime-esque about this series

My guess: White actor (British or American), playing an American in Germany, with sparse German dialogue alongside mostly English.

Re: Monster to get Live-Action adaptation
yeah, there isn't much reason to think that just because they should be speaking German, that the show's just gonna have subtitles everywhere. I can't recall the language barrier ever coming up in the plot either, so there won't be any places where they would have to show that the Germans who we see as speaking English are actually speaking German. It might be an issue if the story was about a guy out of his element in a foreign country, but Tenma's the only foreigner, and he knows German anyway.

Re: Monster to get Live-Action adaptation
This could work quite well. I like it. My guess about the actor is the same as my master's.
