Blood: The Last Vampire Live-Action movie

[Jasta85]

I was browsing through upcoming movies on the yahoo movie section when i suddenly saw this
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809823947/info

still trying to figure out how i missed this, it's due to come out july 10th and I had never heard of even it being put into production. anyway, i'm daring to hope that this might actually be a good movie, i did enjoy kiss of the dragon (same director). It's a limited release so it probably won't be showing near me, but i should be able to find it somewhere.

Btw, to those who may not be familiar with this there is a "Blood: The last Vampire" anime movie that was made a while back, it was one of the first anime movies i saw and i really liked it. Then the series "Blood+" game out several years ago which was a prequel/alternate telling of the movie. I'll be wanting to see how the live action movie compares to the animated originals.

any thoughts on this?

Blood: The Last Vampire was the prequel to Blood+; not the other way around. Or it could just be viewed as an alternate telling in general. (Last is set in 1960 whereas Blood+ was set in '05.)

Regardless, I've been hoping this movie would turn out well. It'd be nice to actually have a live action movie based on an anime that I can actually like, you know? >_>;

Oh!

I'm excited

So, I guess they decided to make a live-action B:TLV movie. From what I see, it looks kick ass. Take a look for yourself.

Some of the scenes look exactly alike and there's a few newer scenes. Are you guys excited or don't really care? Do you think it'll turn out better than the anime?
The problem for me is that, I wouldn't be able to get in without my mom since it's rated R, and I doubt she'd want to see it along with my sister. I need to see it |:

Prepare yourself on July 10th :)

Some of it looked really nice, but some of it looked like alot of the same bullshit crouching tiger hidden dragon was. It looks very unrealistic.

And to borrow from a tube commenter: "Ok, it works as a manga, but a chick in a sailor school uniform running around with a katana looks cheap."

I haven't seen the anime, but seeing the live action movie trailer makes me wanna watch the anime and the movie too.
It looks pretty cool ;D. But too bad it's rated R, because I can't watch it D: (only 14).. and I doubt my mom or brother would wanna watch it lmao.

But to be able to understand it better, do you have to watch the anime first ? o__o

[Vax]

Nope. The anime is exactly like the movie, just in different forms. I'd watch the anime first, since the movie contains more scene and I think it would be somewhat more enjoyable, being as how to anime wasn't that great.

I don't see why it wouldn't be R, either. Blood was never meant to be lower

Well there are more than a few movies that were rated R in America but 14A in Canada.
