OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

Okay...so Hyacinth and I were discussing the casting if a live action SKU film were to be made. I decided to take a few of our choices and show them to you! Click on the links for 'Cast Pictures'

AWRIGHT!


Utena will be played by Keira Knightley

A middle aged man(even a young looking one) playing a junior highschool student? I don't think so.

Yeah I gotta say no to this one. Even when Depp was young, he was far too exotic looking for what I imagine Miki looks like.  LOL, comedy the boy in Jerry Maguire option?

How is this guy as an actor? Perhaps a private audition needs to be arranged...

I've considered this far too much and the conclusion I've come to is that the actors qualified to play the various roles all look nothing like the characters they're supposed to portray, and this is a problem. emot-frown

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

Kal Penn...I dunno. This could be....weird. The Private audition would be a bit problematic as he is very swishy -but ::shrug:: it could work. Akio tends to swish.

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

By all that is sexy and SKU, not Keanu.  No, no, no, no...  Don;t do that to poor Touga.

Oh dear. Akio does tend to swish, yes, but I would not cast someone that does that naturally for the part. They'll overdo it at cost to the vital moments when Akio doesn't swish.

I WAS JUST SAYING. If he had talent...maybe...

...at that rate we could just fucking genetically engineer Touga. Even Al Pacino can't make Keanu Reeves look good. (I wouldn't nominate Al Pacino for Akio because you can't scream Akio's lines, but his version of Satan in that movie repeatedly reminded me of Akio...) Again with the problem of not looking the part at all, but Pierce Brosnan could pull off Touga's character pretty well.

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

I've gotta say Elijah Wood for Miki. He's a prettyboy and he can act.

Jason Isaacs would be an okay Touga if he were a bit younger.

Maybe we could give him great make-up and a bunch of wigs, the storyline to SKU, and tell him to make a one man show of it.


I'm not adverse to the attempt. emot-wink

Actually, I'm fully confidant in James Spader as anyone, but....for some reason, and maybe it's just my natural Spader worship, I could kinda see him as Akio. We'd obviously have to nix the Indian-ish part of the character design for him (and consequently whoever was Anthy), but I think he really does have the depth for it. God knows he has that menacingly sexy voice that just makes you wanna do whatever the hell he tells you to do.

Spader-Akio: "Give me the sword, Anthy."
Whoever is Anthy: ::falls and impales self on sword in hurry to hand it over::
Spader-Akio: "Goddamnit. Well, what does one more phallic symbol rammed through your abdomen matter? You've already got a million. Come here, Pincushion Sister of Mine." 

I second Shattered with Elijah Wood for Miki, although if we made it  Jake Gyllenhall, you could get Maggie to be Kozue. ::shrug:: They do kinda look alike.

Maggie is incredibly hot. And Jake is kind of cute in a less-drippy-Tobey Maguire sort of way. And they do look alike, what with being related and all.

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

I thought they were cute together in Donnie Darko. "You're such a fuck ass." "Did you just call me a fuck ass? You can go suck a fuck!" "Tell me, exactly how does one 'suck a fuck'?" (I think that is pretty close.) Still, I think they would be a little old for the parts.  (This was edited because my punctuation-fu was not strong with me tonight.)

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

The main problem would be finding an entire cast that's the right age. With only a handful of exceptions (the guidance counselor, the vice-principal, Kanae's parents, Miki's father; did I miss any?) we never see anyone who physically at least is over twenty-five. So we can have actors into their twenties (hey, Alyson Hannigan played a highschooler when she was almost thirty) we really couldn't go much older than that.

And who would be Juri and Shiori?

As for sucking a fuck, I never gave that much thought, but it does bear consideration.

Most of this was meant to be crack acting though! I wasn't being serious for any of them except Anthy, Utena, Ruka, and Ruka's forelock! Goin' mostly for general looks but Jhonny and Keanu were complete jokes! emot-redface

There are worse choices than Spader for the role of Akio, for instance Robby here. emot-tongue

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

If we did that, we'd have to cast Mischa Barton as Utena and Benjamin Mackenzie as Touga. And Juri would be played by Hugo Weaving in drag.

QUOTED FOR AWESOME.  And we can have Joe Pantoliano in drag for Nanami.

Though seriously, Hugo Weaving would make a pretty good Mikage.  My Fabio/Touga idea from the other thread seems to have been voted down, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist on the Weaving/Mikage casting.  "I suppose you have no choice but to revolutionize the world ... ... ... Mr. Anderson."

( By the way, if you missed Fabio/Touga, you can find him here: http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i117/ … biouga.jpg )

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

GAAAH!!! SHMEECHERZ I TOLD YOU!!! NOT KEANU FOR TOUGA!!! NOT!!!!

NOTTTT!!!

Keanu Reeves could only play young touga & that is if you have Keanu from when he was in Bill & Ted.  And Saionji would have to be played by Alex Winter.

If anyone dares disagree with Shmee that Keira Knightly would be a good Utena, I'm going to give a swift punt to your 'nads!

Of course, Keira could also be Juri.  Maybe.

Miki = innocent

Depp can totally do that, so I think maybe.

Eh... problem is he is a bit too exotic looking.

...

AND WTF SHMEE!!

YOU TOTALLY FORGOT THAT DIOS IS GONNA BE PLAYED BY PRINCE!!

Come on.  Admit it.  Dios is a prince.  Prince is Prince.  Prince doesn't even have to say anything.  He just has to be all him-like & do random surreal things & fall down from a castle.  And hey, why not throw in a few doves flying down with him?

Prince pimps out the Dios suit.  Oh, yes he doo.

Don't even try to deny it.

And Daniel Vosovic is going to be Movie Miki.

Re: OH NO! It's the SKU Live Action Film!

I can't help but thinking Tegoshi from that jpop band NEWS would make an adorable Miki, since he's got that adorably cute (evil) genius thing going on in real life.
