In-the-flesh Lupin III set to steal hearts in U.S. Naomi Tajitsu Daily Yomiuri Staff Writer

First Hollywood took Godzilla. Now they're after Lupin. U.S. producer Gerald Molen on Tuesday announced he had signed a deal with manga creator Kazuhiko Kato, commonly known as Monkey Punch, and TMS Entertainment to acquire the live-action film rights to the manga series Lupin III. Molen, whose projects include Schindler's List and Jurassic Park (both 1993), will produce at least one film in the Lupin series, with the first installment expected to be released within two years.

Molen would not disclose the monetary amount of the deal and said directors and scriptwriters had not been decided on. However, he emphasized his desire to keep the film true to the original manga.

This . . . could be . . . *very* bad . . .

Well, Monkey Punch's involved, so there might be hope. Of course, did they *have* to mention Godzilla (the Hollywood version)?

No kidding. Forget who I'd pick - they're gonna go for Jim Carrey or some equally insane choice. Unless they don't. But I'm not shocked that often.

Russel Crowe?

Technically, the movie should have a mainly Asian cast. I doubt thats going to happen. I think Lupin III is going to be more American than French or Japanese.

Hmm. Bruce Campbell? I can't think of anyone else campy enough to pull it off..

Uhh . . . .

*riasies finger*

You know, that actually doesn't sound so bad . . .

I was going to say Jim Carrey. He actually looks the part somewhat.

However, I would not see it with him in it, I can't stand the talentless ham.

God I hope they don't pick that idiot who did the live action Pinocchio.

He's a little old, though. A group of unknows in their late 20's would work best.

Don't worry, Roberto Benigni is Italian . . .
