It's seems all over the world film studios just can't come up with original content. In the US, you have studios doing remakes of horror flicks, superheroes, cartoons, and foreign flicks. In Japan, the usual thing is come out with a manga. Then create an anime. Then a year or two later come out with an anime movie or live action movie.
So well you guessed it, we have another manga/anime coming to life. Don't worry it won't be Westernized and it is being made fully in Japan. Following in the footsteps of Casshern, Death Note comes the live action Gantz. I've never seen the anime or manga, but supposedly it follows more with the manga. The great thing about the movie is that it looks freaking awesome. You got characters wearing suits and it doesn't look ridiculous on them like you would see on Power Rangers, Ultraman (reboot the guy it's about time), and what not. The special effects are looking mightly well too.
In a few years I believe we'll start see consistent quality of heavy influenced foreign movies that will rival even the best US blockbuster. Oh, the only bad thing about the Gantz movie is it's released date. It won't be released until 2011 in Japan and sure won't be released internationally 6-12 after that. Let's enjoy the trailer for the time being.
