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.

Ooh, do want! Perhaps this time -THIS TIME!- we'll actually get a DECENT live action adaptation of an anime/manga.
-knuclear200x-
i bet itll be the opposite of the toon:
good but not sexy
I'm looking forward to the movie. Honestly, I thought that this manga would have never adapted to movie due to it's content. C'mon Japan and Hollywood make me a Berserk movie!!!
Kentaro Miura needs to stop fapping to Idolm@ster and FINISH THE DAMN MANGA ALREADY
Scary, gantz with no blood, gore, nudity, dogs eating out broads cunts, etc.,???!?!
Do they seriously think the preachy moral shit coupled with the alien's will make for a good story in any way?
Will be like that horrible ending they made for the anime series..
I wonder if gantz is interested.
I was just thinking the same thing

原作で人間の胴体がバラバラになるなど衝撃的な描写もあるが、佐藤氏は「指定がつくような作品にはならない。誰でも見られる作品にします」と話している。
Gantz movie producer says "This movie will be for all ages. There is no blood or gore."
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
myyyyyyyyyyyyy
gooooooooooooooooooooooooood
If what you're saying is true, then Gantz will be ruined forever. No blood or gore? For all ages?? That's as far from Gantz as someone can get!
I don't read the manga and even I am pissed...
no blood no gore
At least he didnt mentioned about no sex D:
FUCK
I'll be happy as long as Hollywood has nothing to do with this. And this better have tits, it's just not Gantz without tits.
Hollywood comments are getting beyond old.
Japan can fail you know. They are no better with live action adaptions than Hollywood is.
Yes, DB:Evolution was terrible, KoF will be terrible, original SF was terrible(But I love it) and second one was probably bad as well.
This is pretty much the entire basis for "American version Bad, Japan version Godly, Hulk Smash American version!" Attitude that is so annoyingly common here.
Casshern was pretty terrible. I love the movie, but it was pretty terrible.
If the "No Violence/Sexuality/etc" thing is true, it will be a horrible movie. What is Gantz without violence death and nudity? That girl at the start was naked up until they went on their first mission.
Was she wearing a bathing suit when she killed herself in the tub?
If, assuming this won't be a massive failure, any more movies are made, I really hope they end it before all the Vampire "Author forgot how to add dialogue" arcs start. Have not read a chapter since then.
But, unless you live in Japan, and are going to go pay to watch this movie, opinion really doesn't matter much. You are not the target audience.
I dunno, Michael Bay might do this justice.
Both actors are said to be in training for the action sequences, with filming set to begin shortly.
sending them to be hit by train and hopefully chosen by gantz? XD
you know its gonna be porn. I mean thats literally what a gantz live action would equal to.
cv
hoping for alot of fan service here
awesome cant wait for it must watch now
The anime was terrible enough!
Live action is gonna be worse imo.
They should just try to do another animation adaptation with a different studio.
Live Action movies from Japan (quite often) have bad acting, and bad effects.
I think the issue you're not recognizing here is that Gantz sucked... Like.. it really sucked. badly. Manga or Anime adaptation, doesn't matter. The real stars of that series should've been the Onion Aliens from the start.
Better have the scene where he's shagging Angelina Jolie wanna be.
I'm already laughing at the bad japanese acting.
Why couldn't they just choose a mission and make an animated movie out of it? This is disappointing.
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
I WANT REIKA!!!
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.
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.
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.
Lets see how it will end... The anime was compered to the Manga ... hmm yea
I was worried that it was going to be another Hollywood massacre...
Nothing to worry about,its just going to be a japanese 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?
sweet... i wanna watch it
first chapter, bewbs! and they GOTTA DO THE SAME THING TOO!
didn't know it's ero :D
You guys haven't read the manga at all,there are couple of sex scene later in the story
Its only an attempted rape, unless you count the dog.
beastality ftw :o)
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. =)

unfortunately, it is not as good as you might expect D:
That's just a delicious cracker with various shades of monday.

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
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.
I can even smell the phail...
Even if it's a Japan production, Hollywood will eventually find its way there.
when the anime was already a FAIL, the movie is GUARANTEED FAIL
