One of my friends were having an interesting debate concerning the anime Black Lagoon.
What if someone had wrote a decent script for it and gotten a badass director for it, so long as it's not Uwe Boll, maybe Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) or Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy), and made it into a live action movie.
But the major question is...who should be cast as whom?
Here is my take on the cast...most of them anyway.
Revy/Rebecca: Natassia Malthe
- She was Typhoid Mary in the movie Elektra. She is also Ayane in the Dead or Alive movie. She is Norwegian/Filipino (eventhough Revy is Chinese-American)
Rock/Rokurou Okajima: either Kane Kosugi or Byron Lawson
- Son of action star Sho Kosugi. He is Ryu Hayabusa in the DOA flick. He is also fluent in both English and Japanese.
- Lawson is best remembered as the gangster Eddie Kim from Snakes on a Plane.
Benny: still being debated.
Dutch: Ving Rhames
- No comments needed. Give Ving a shotgun and he'll go to work.
Balalaika: Connie Nielsen
- She was in Basic with John Travolta and Samual L. Jackson. She's Danish.
Mr. Chang: Byron Mann
- He was in the Mark Dacascos flick Crying Freeman. He is best remembered as Ryu Hoshi in the Street Fighter movie.
Shenhua: Maggie Q
- What can I say? She's hot. She was in Naked Weapon and most recently, Mission: Impossible 3
Eda: ditto with Benny.
Roberta/Rosalita Cisneros: Leonor Varela
- Was better known as Nyssa in Blade 2.
