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

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.

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.....

Oh jesus christ that man would be a good Akio, yes
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.

But then the movie would be 4 hours long and full of really bad music numbers.

Indeed.

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

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

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.

Nanami's cow song is one of my favorites in the series. I sing myself to sleep with it a lot.
Donna donna donna donna....
(edit: The cow song and the egg song--Say Hello to your Mama or whatever.)
& I agree about both Sendhil Ramamurthy & Mia Kirshner. Eek!

...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...

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.

Oh, come on, if we're going to have a Bollywood star as Akio, wouldn't we rather have someone who moves like Hrithik Roshan?
