First Look At The Live-Action Adaptation Of “Rurouni Kenshin”

Here’s your first look at Himura Kenshin in the live-action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin. Himura Kenshin is played by Satoh Takeru (Bloody Monday, MR. BRAIN). 

The live-action film will be released in Japan on August 25th, 2012.

So how do you guys like the live-action adaptation? At first glance I thought Satoh’s side profile looked a little like a younger Sorimachi Takashi in GTO.

Immortals (2011) Trailer

Director: Tarsem Singh
Writer: Charley Parlapanides, Vlas Parlapanides
Cast: Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt, Frieda Pinto, Kellan Lutz

Plot Summary: Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge. In the king’s hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man’s conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion…until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes…

Plot Summary provided by IMDB.

Ah, here we have another Greek mythology-inspired film. This film was obviously green-lit due to the financial success of Clash of the Titans (2010), and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Theif (2010). To an extent, this film hopes to capture the same financial success.

Also, for folks who want to get a good look at Superman in the upcoming Synder & Nolan film, here’s your chance because Henry Cavill is the headliner for this film along with Mickey Rourke. 

Check it out when it hits theaters November 11, 2011
