Black Butler looks to be the latest title to receive a controversial and (to some at least) inexplicable live action adaptation, with the movie version casting the titular butler’s boy master as a crossdressing girl – Ayame Goriki, a move unlikely to please the show’s fujoshi fans.
Goriki’s boyish looks seem to have led to director Shinzo Matsuhashi to cast for the part (original to the movie) of Shiori, who was raised as young master Kiyoharu for the usual implausible reasons of corporate dynasty.
He says she was the first person he thought of casting as the boy: “Goriki was the first person who came to mind with her strong pupils, boyish looks and short hair, I thought she was perfect for the role of a girl burdened with the fate of living as a boy by this perverted world.”
She comments that “I’ve heard a lot of opinions about the difference between the original and the movie, and I think we’ll be able to inject a lot of human emotion into the story with the adaptation.”
Sebastian Michaelis is to be played by 28-year-old Hiro Mizushima, his first movie role in some years.
Both the considerable liberties the movie is taking with the manga original (it is also set in 2020 Asia rather than London) and its casting decisions have already been the subject of much criticism, although the director is “confident they strengthen the essence of the original.”

The only decent acting talent in Japan is voice acting. After watching television and film from around the world, I've got to say that Japanese acting is rigid and unrealistic.
I've always found Mifune to be quite believable in all his films. Maybe you've just been watching the wrong films.
I thought that was just how Japanese people are.
You missed the part where 2ch hates Goriki.
Well, 2ch hates a lot of things, anyway.
You mean there is something 2ch doesn't hate?
2d lolis?
nobody hate 2d lolis
'nobody hate 2d lolis'
WHO IS THAT "NOBODY" GUY, I AM GONNA KICK HIS BAWLS.

Well the origanal voice actor was a girl, so its not that far of a stretch. As long as she does the role well.
This sounds more interesting than the original premise, to be honest.
If this pisses off fujoshis I approve It
I don't get why fujioshi's would be mad about the cross dressing.
Girl's crossplay as Ciel all the time. get over it.
Clever move (sarcasm 140%).
Why not just have it as a guy who's playing as a girl, who's playing as a guy, then set it in a near future London that is all Asian from immigration and that way you can please everybody.
"So they're vampires, pretending that they're humans, pretending that they're vampires?"
"How avant-garde."
who cares the show is trash anyways. those fans should be grateful it even managed to get a movie.
Wait what? Having a woman play Ciel wouldn't be too odd, I mean, he's voiced by one, but am I to understand they're changing the character, plot, and possibly setting entirely? What's the fucking point?

Too gay.
the majority of shonen manga turned to live-action are disappointing(with the exception of some Adachi Mitsuru's works),but for some shoujo manga i admit,stands on its own just like the first Nana movie and Nodame Cantabile or even Bokura Ga Ita.
Beating the fuck out of anyone who's not white,
For killing niggers, every night is the right night,
He's almost dead, he's starting to squeal,
I'll club his head like a baby seal,
The fucking coons thought they could take me,
The cops are white and won't try to stop me,
Another night of going coon' bashin...
Oh, the guy who played Kamen Rider Kabuto.
At least its not by hollywood..
j movies arent any better. look at gantz and casshern.....
I thought the Casshern movie was awesome...
For a moment there, i read it as "At least its not bollywood."
That would be legendary
are you kidding I would seriously pay to see bollywood adaptations of anime, it'd be hilarious.
I'm Indian, and you strike fear into my heart.
This seems more like casting for a theatrical performance then a live-action film. :P
I don't see the problem. I would expect him to be played by a girl.
I hate Black Butler but I like this news. Take that, fujoshi losers. Their tears must be delicious.
Jeez, what the hell do otaku guys have against fujoshi anyways? Shouldn't you folk be getting along?
My primary objection to fujoshi is that they have sex with people other than me.
If they were having sex with me, I would find something else to call them.
They have sex?
These women are enjoying the same hobbies the otaku are except with swapped genders. I think it's self hatred coupled with misogyny, they think women shouldn't have the right to be as 'dirty' as they are. It's the only explanation.
Their misery-flavored tears sustain me.
I don't know, we fujoshi are kinda used to having crappy adaptations of our favourite manga/novels; plus nothing can be that bad after Princess Princess Live Action.
