This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

A part of me believes that unless they find some idealistic unknown actors and actresses, they could never find people who can portray the characters well enough for my liking.

That aside, they could always make a live action comedy of SKU instead in the tradition of the old 'Carry On' movies (Carry On Revolutionising) with

Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I read palms. Show me yours and don't be afraid of the knife.

Like Sandman, there's no way an SKU done in live action could possibly work. emot-frown

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

I nominate Sendhil Ramamurthy (aka Mohinder from Heroes) for Akio:

He's gorgeous, and he's got that smooth voice with the lovely Indian English accent too..... etc-wankgirl

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

Oh jesus christ that man would be a good Akio, yes etc-wankgirl

Now, can he act like the world's biggest slut while still maintaining Akio's manipulative demeanors? That's the real question. You'd need some serious acting chops to play Akio as subtly as he needs to be played.

And don't forget the voice, there would be nothing worse if you see someone look super hot and then they open their mouth and the voice ends up a major letdown, after all you don;t want someone with a non-sexy voice playing him now, do ya?

I think Shahrukh Khan could be a good Akio.

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

He would be a really good Akio

I think Mia Kirshner ( The "L" Word) would make a good Shiori.

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

Wow she looks like a total bitch on wheels. But that whole kinda slutty look there makes me think of Kozue...

I see your point Gio, she would probably be very convincing as Kozue.

Mmm...I'm not feelin' it, but really, isn't SKU already many hours long, and full of questionable music?

The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

I personally feel that Kozue is less of a girly made-up slutty, more of a tomboyish simple short shorts and tank top slutty. Doesn't strike me as putting a lot of effort into it, just simply doing it. After all, she's not really out to do anything but attract Miki's attention and get off, and that doesn't require getting all dolled up. I don't know; I think its the hair that makes me think that. It's kind of no-nonsense.

So I'm still thinking it looks like Shiori. She strikes me as the OH GOD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK I'M PRETTY type.

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

...We were watching the Stepford Wives in class, and the evil lady in the movie is an older Nanami... (Don't ask me who her actress was, I know nothing about actors and movies.)

She had her crazy Nanami happy evil smile and was always in yellow...

Re: Live Action Utena Dream Cast

Sarah Michelle Gellar looks waaaaaaaay to straight to be Utena.

But seriously, she doesn't look... what's the word. Boyishly/girlishly innocent enough? I agree that it should be a blonde, though. I really like Julia Stiles, personally.

For Juri, I think Tilda Swinton would work... I think of Juri as more feminine-elegant, but Tilda's tall enough and does silently-powerful really well.
