I, too, would like to see a Trigun movie, but I would also like to direct it, and I won't be able to do that for several years, after I graduate. I don't think that your cast choices are the best, mainly because the actors are probably too old for the parts, I mean, at the oldest, most of the characters look to be in their late twenties. The way I had pictured it was to have two movies, like there were two series of manga, with the second one being more mature than the first. These are just some of my ideas, of course, but I am a bit of a perfectionist sometimes. By the way, can I read your script?

No arguments here. It's hard to argue a cast really until after you see it happen. I mean, how many people out there bashed Raimi's pick of Tobey Maguire as Spidey, and then Tobey made the role his own? Perhaps the biggest casting call of Raimi's career. At this point I don't think I could picture anyone else as Peter Parker.
The way I see it, a Trigun flick should go for a younger cast, preferably on the up-and-coming side of things.
Anyway, here's a cast I could see.
Vash - Justin Long (Live Free or Die Hard)
(In the running: Heath Ledger, Ryan Gosling)
Wolfwood - Hugh Jackman
(In the running: Keanu Reeves)
Knives - Shia LaBeouf. I can see some of you scratching your heads even now, but here's a guy that casts and crews love, a guy who will steal the show when he's onscreen. I think there's potential here for a fan favorite. I'd love to see Shia tackle a bad guy myself.
(In the running: Hayden Christensen)
These are the guys I would hit up for the three primary roles. I'm not so much on an opinion of the other characters. I'd love to see Johnny Depp as Legato or Jake Gyllenhaal as Midvalley, but those are as generic as they come as far as fan casting goes.
Hey, come to think of it, Ryan Reynolds would make an interesting Midvalley. -

My husband and I were just talking about this subject last night after I watched the series for the first time. I loved it and have to admit to having a bit of a cartoon crush on Wolfwood. Here's the line up we came up with.
Vash-Owen Wilson (that was my husband's pick.I don't see it. I like the idea of Heath Ledger though)
Wolfwood-Alex O'LoughlinI also like Hugh Jackman
Meryl-Selma Blair
Milly-i don't think we decided on her yet
Knives-I said Luke Wilson just to be funny, but really Christian Bale would be awesome
I don't know really but I think someone should really try to get the idea going. It would be great to see it work out as long as they had a really good cast, writer, & director. -

Ok I've been thinkin hard about this for a while
vash- garrett hedlund
Wolfwood- Sam worthington
Knives- Alexander skarsgard or. Christian bale
Meryl- Natalie portman
Millie- the girl from the imaginarium of dr. Parnassus
Legato- David tennant
Directed by Tim Burton, quentin tarintino or gereullmo del York -

The problem is the last live anime movie was Dragonball Z. And that movie turned to crap.A studio would see making another amine movie as risky.It would probably be low budget and straight to dvd. So you might not be able to have the best actors.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful. -

When they run out of good comic books to produce into action flicks, they'll only have one place to go.
Half the problem with these types of anime is that they are built on an intense depth of character which doesn't translate well from a 26 episode story arc down to a 2 hour movie or even a couple movies (while still making the first movie strong). -

I'm all for seeing a Live action Movie of Trigun. It'd could be a great movie if done right. Though I'm not quite sure it could be done in two or three movies. I'd be happy enough if it was one movie and somewhere between two and a half to maybe three and a half hours. In anycase if done right it would be a awesome movie as the story is great.
As for actors I'm not very picky as long as the producer and director didn't choose any really big names for it. Big name actors are cool and all but once they get big they tend to get a little too cocky and find themselves thinking their better then the movie their acting in. So IMO it's better to find some great or almost great no names who will try their hardest to make the movie as good as possible. And in the process possibly make a classic that'll be remembered for a long time. -

I think the future of the live anime remakes lies in the hands of the creators of Cowboy Bebop (assuming it doesn't get canned during pre-production). If that movie works you could see a wave of anime movies not unlike the wave of superhero movies after the massive success stories of Raimi's Spider-Man and Nolan's Batman franchises.

After seeing the series here's what I think would work:
Vash: Josh Hutcherson (Plays both comedic and action roles, yep, he fits) or Chris Hemsworth (Right age and a big badass)
Knives: Christian Bale (Enough said)
Meryl: Olivia Wilde (She was fantastic as Quorra in Tron Legacy; she also fits the bill for Meryl)
Milly: Dianna Agron (Having popular TV actresses never hurt)
Wolfwood: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Judging from his character in Inception, Wolfwood's a perfect match for him)
Legato: Cillian Murphy (Creepy as hell in Red Eye and Batman Begins)
Chapel: Christopher Lloyd (Definitely could work there after seeing Roger Rabbit)
Directed by: The Coen Brothers, Robert Rodriguez, or myself, lol -

Drownbunny, the fact that your entire opening description is one long run-on sentence leads me to question your writing skills. Unless English isn't your native language you should have no excuse as to why you would call yourself a writer and disgrace the English language like this in the same post.

I'm here.
I just haven't gotten to creating a new thread.
I LOVE this show. i love Vash and Wolfwood and even Millie and Meryl. Terrific show!
That said, I have to add that I am not the least bit interested in a live action movie. Let the flames begin. ;D

Don't worry MrsSpooky I am not interested in a live action film either Some animes might work well in live action. I don't believe Trigun is one of themSo have you seen the movie Badlands Rumble yet? I have my copy on preorder. Won't arrive until a month from now.. What is some of your favorite episodes?
Have a nice Day -

I haven't seen Badlands Rumble yet, but I too have it on preorder! Can't wait for more Vash.
Some of my favorite episodes? That's a hard one.
Peacemaker
Hard Puncher
LOST JULY.
I love B.D.N. (and the followup) because B.D.N. is voiced by Unsho Ishizuka who played Jet in Cowboy Bebop. It was weird hearing him play a bad guy.
Murder Machine, 'cause we get to meet Wolfwood.
Diablo, 'cause Vash is just. scary.
Demon's Eye
THE FIFTH MOON
Rem Saverem
I also really liked Sin.
Heck, I love ALL of them, but those, especially Lost July and The Fifth Moon I tend to watch over and over again. How about you?
Spike! My precious

After watching the series here is my two cents:
Vash: Armie Hammer (right age, right hair and eyes, right build, can do drama and comedy and would be great to see him go over the top)
Knives: Armie Hammer (Have same actor play the two roles to emphasize how similar but different they are and Hammer has experience playing two brothers)
Meryl: Emma Rossum (What can I say? She is too underused and has just the right combination swagger, looks, and talent to pull off Meryl)
Milly: Judy Greer(Right look, a very joyous and kind demeanor, maybe a bit old but looks young)
Wolfwood: Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Have to agree, having seen Inception he definitely fits the bill) Or James Wolk (has the handsome kind boyish face but can turn in a second and be cut throat)
Legato: Cillian Murphy (Creepy as hell in Red Eye and Batman Begins)
Chapel: Christopher Lloyd (Definitely could work there after seeing Roger Rabbit)
