Hiroya Oku’s popular ero-sci-fi manga series Gantz will be adapted into two CG heavy live action movies, starring Kazunari Ninomiya as Kei Kurono, and Kenichi Matsuyama as Masaru Kato.
The films are set to premiere in Japan in the winter and spring of 2011. Both actors are said to be in training for the action sequences, with filming set to begin shortly.
The adaptations will be directed by Shinsuke Sato, while Watanabe Yuusuke will be adapting the manga’s storyline.
Just who will be playing the various busty female characters the series is well known for is not clear.
The series has previously been adapted into an anime, though it remains to be seen whether the drastic change from sexually tense surreal science fiction horror to bloody special powers battle manga the series underwent will be reflected in the adaptation.

WOOHOO !
Gore, Aliens, Action and Tits !
What can be possibly done story wise in two movies ?
(only read 200 chapters but that is a lot of things going on). oh right Gore, Aliens, Action and Tits !
Let's hope they don't fuck it up like most anime to real life movie adaptations.
they will.
they will [2], unfortunately.
manga to anime is already fucked up so anime to movie will be global disaster
I can even smell the phail...
when the anime was already a FAIL, the movie is GUARANTEED FAIL
Even if it's a Japan production, Hollywood will eventually find its way there.
Well only the last 2 episodes of the entire 26 of gantz was bad.I can't see how they can mess this up.They can actually make 4 GREAT movies out of this.
sweet... i wanna watch it
first chapter, bewbs! and they GOTTA DO THE SAME THING TOO!
didn't know it's ero :D
nah it's not really ero, it's just showing and popping some boobs and explicit intent like..
in the first chapter, there should be a
RAPE!
scene! so yeah, it's not really ero. =)
Its only an attempted rape, unless you count the dog.
beastality ftw :o)
You guys haven't read the manga at all,there are couple of sex scene later in the story

unfortunately, it is not as good as you might expect D:
That was posted in 2006.....
That's just a commercial for the anime dvd. ==
That's just a commercial for the anime dvds. ==
That's just a delicious cracker with various shades of monday.
I was worried that it was going to be another Hollywood massacre...
Im worried it doesnl't turn out lik those other japanese live actions like Casshern,DevilMan,& Deathnote repectively.
Indeed, instead we're getting a Japanese massacre.
At least it wont be like Yuria 100 Shiki, amiright?
Nothing to worry about,its just going to be a japanese massacre.
the actors mentioned above seem to be recognized accomplished actors so at least it isn't some b grade adaptation..
FUCK YEA MOAR GANTZ :D
oh yea and one of them is from the group Arashi :D
matsuyama kenichi = L lol
Which makes perfect sense, right? I mean, when I think of Gantz I totally think of boybands that dance on rainbows.
Ninomiya was in Letters from Iwo Jima though, and his acting there was actually pretty critically acclaimed =/ If it was any other Johnny'sbrat, I'd be scared, but he'd be good for this movie.
Rape.
Lets see how it will end... The anime was compered to the Manga ... hmm yea
fuck teh manga, it's damn boring and nonsense lately.
since when does the manga makes any sense? its fiction... -_-"
Fiction is incoherent, got it.
The anime sputtered out at the end with the producers trying to tie up the plot.
Very weak sauce.
Unless they get a director that knows how to combine horror and action. This will be yet another sentai flick with stock explosions popping up behind the actors backs.
hollyweird has always Fucked up anything foreign to American so their track record is plain to see. In regards to Japanese, ALL those fighting games and Dragonball are the obvious examples.
Although the anime ending is kinda weak, it's not like the manga is perfect. At first they have rules that aren't meant to be broken, but when thing start to blend into real world, it felt like the author suddenly want to expand the world beyond what he originally intended.
Not that its bad though... I just felt a bit disconnected there.
I WANT REIKA!!!
as long as its not hollywood then i dont mind who makes it
i wonder if they are going to leave in the sex scenes
MOAR REIKA!!!
BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS BOOBS
I hope they choose good female actors, and I hope they do the female titty monster.
I Absolutely Cannot Wait. Gantz Is My Favorite Anime/ Manga Of All Time. Hopefully Its Good...
in before Hollywood rapes it
i CAN fap to THIS!
How strange I just started reading this like 2 days ago
Maybe the world really does revolve around me?
Lol, those actors don't look like to their respective characters at all, hope it won't be a mess like Death Note (Manga Light >>>>> Movie Light)
Those movies have huge potential. But I bet they'll just scrap it and make another 3rd rate live action. The mangaka sucked as well. It takes some tallent to bury such a GREAT, ORIGINAL idea full of epic plot possibilities, and pee on it to top it.
I mean... srsly.... I'm so pissed. The story has started to pick some pace recently, but nothing will save it already.
OH HELL YES!!!
First a kaiji adaptation, now this. Either way, the prospect of live actions for awesome series overrides the fear of ruining it.
that girl is gonna catch a cold dressed like that
sooo. sex scenes or no sex scenes
